Honeybees use a dance to tell other bees where food is. When a bee finds a good place to collect nectar, it goes back to the hive and dances in a special way. The kind of dance tells the other bees how far away the food is and which direction they need to fly.
Examples
- A honeybee dances in a circle to tell others where the flowers are.
- The more excited the bee is about the food, the longer it dances.
- Other bees watch and follow the dance like a map to find the food.
