How do bees communicate with each other?
- ๐๏ธ 7
Bees communicate with each other primarily through a method known as the “waggle dance.” When a worker bee finds a source of nectar, it returns to the hive and performs a dance that indicates the direction and distance of the food source relative to the Sun. The speed and angle of the dance convey information about the distance and direction, while the intensity of the movement indicates the quality of the food. This form of communication is crucial for the colony’s ability to forage efficiently.
