The Bee @TheBeeLady1·

The slower the dance the further away the flowers. How vigorously she dances indicates how good the ... nectar is. And she gives samples of the nectar.
They get it right to within 2 degrees.
Remember they are in the dark and vertical
I couldn’t do that. #bees @schools
Clever bees

They know exactly where the sun is so in a dance they “say” that the sun is vertically above them and the direction of their dance shows the angle between the sun and the forage.
Bees can’t do distance so they indicate the amount of energy needed to get there

The Bee@TheBeeLady1

This worker honey bee is doing the waggle dance. She has found a good source of nectar and is telling her nest mates where it is so they can go straight to it and not waste time or energy. She dances on a vertical wax comb in the dark.
