Bees do the waggly dance to tell other bees where the best flower patches are. It's like when you find a really good ice cream shop and show your friends how to get there by drawing a little map with your body, but instead of drawing, they do a fun little dance! The more excited they are about the flowers, the faster they wiggle.
Examples
- A bee waggles on the comb to show other bees where a flower patch is
- The dance gets faster when the flowers are really good
- Other bees follow the dancer and go find the flowers
