Why do insects do the waggle dance?

The 'waggle dance' is a series of movements made by honey bees inside the colony to indicate to the other bees where a source of pollen or nectar has been found. The 'dance' tells the bees how far from the colony and the direction in relation to the sun.


How do bees learn to dance?

A bee's "dance" is an instinct. They are born knowing how to do it. The "dance" communicates to other bees, showing them the way to fly in order to find the flowers that the other bee has found. The queen is not the one dancing, because she is busy laying eggs. The drone bees are the ones who fly out looking for pollen, and who "dance." The angle between the direction the 'dancing' bee is facing while vibrating its abdomen and the vertical position equals the direction to the new nectar source from the hive with respect to the sun. The duration of the waggle also gives the distance. Bees are aware of the movement of the sun during the day, so can compensate for this when using it for navigation.

How does a honeybee inform other bees about the nectar filled flower?

The first bees to find a flower do so by chance. If there appears to be a good supply of nectar, on return to the hive the bee will give samples of the nectar to other forages so they can identify the type of flower, and will perform the 'waggle dance' where the bee moves round on the comb in a circle or figure-of-eight pattern, stopping at points and rapidly vibrating, or waggling, her abdomen. The angle between the direction the bee is facing when waggling and the vertical gives the direction of the source with respect to the sun, and the duration of the waggle is proportionate to the distance.


How do bees interprete the movements and sounds of the waggle dance?

The angle between the direction the 'dancing' bee is facing while waggling its abdomen and the vertical is the direction to the new nectar source from the hive with respect to the sun, and the duration of the waggle gives the distance. Bees are aware of the movement of the sun during the day, so can compensate for this when using it for navigation.
