Movements and scents are ways in which bees tell each other where flowers are. The insects in question (Apis spp) leave distinct scents on the preferred flower. They tell hive mates where the flower is located by body and leg movements and by look and smell of transported nectar and pollen.

By a series of movements called the 'Waggle Dance'. The bee runs around in different ways within an area of the hive and depending on which way it moves, can let the other bees know the distance and direction of a source of nectar that it has found.

They do a 'waggle dance'. A returning bee shakes it's body, and walks in a figure-of-eight pattern. The speed of the 'dance' and the direction of the dance pattern tells the others where the flowers are.
