Bees do a special dance to tell other bees where food is. When a bee finds a good spot with lots of nectar or pollen, it goes back to the hive and does a little dance. This tells the other bees how far and which way they need to fly to find the food. The dance looks like a wiggly line, kind of like when you walk in circles while you’re excited.
Examples
- When a bee finds a flower with lots of nectar, it goes back to the hive and does a little dance to tell other bees where it is.
- Bees do a dance called the waggle dance if they need to tell their friends which way to go to find food.
- A bee doing a figure-eight dance on top of the hive helps its sisters know that there’s lots of food nearby.
