Bees do a dance to tell their friends where food is. When they find something good, like flowers with lots of nectar, they come back to the hive and spin in circles, this is called the wagon wheel. They move around, pointing in the direction of the food and showing how far it is by how many times they go around.
Examples
- Other bees follow the dance and fly toward the flowers
- The whole hive gets more nectar because of the dance
