Bees do a special dance when they find good flowers. The dance tells the other bees where to go and how far it is. It's like a little party on the hive floor! The waggle dance shows direction, and the circle dance says 'food is nearby!'
Examples
- A bee finds a flower full of nectar and comes back to the hive, wiggling its body in a special way to show where it is.
- When there are lots of flowers nearby, bees do little circles on the hive floor, telling others that food is close by.
- Another bee watches the dance and flies off in the same direction, finding the same flower.
