Imagine you're playing hide and seek, and when you find the hiding spot, you do a silly dance to tell your friends where it is, that's kind of like what bees do with their waggle dance. Bees use this dance to show other bees exactly where they found food, like nectar or pollen. If one bee sees another doing the dance, it knows where to go and can find the food too.
Examples
- A bee finds honey and comes back to the hive, doing a little dance for its friends.
- Bees do a special wiggling move when they find nectar in flowers near their hive.
- One bee does the waggle dance, showing other bees where the flower patch is.
