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.

A honey bee lets other bees know where food sources are by doing a series of movements inside the hive known as the waggle dance, to indicate the distance and the direction of a source of nectar or pollen.

Movement, scent, sight, sound, taste and touch are ways that honeybees communicate. Movement involves round dances for nearby food sources and waggle dances for distant forages. Information-laden chemical releases known as pheromones serve as alarms, mating advertisements, queen-released worker activity schedules, and same-species identity cards.

Honey Bees communicate through dance. They dance in a figyre 8 pattern. The subtlies of the dance inform the other worker bees of the direction and distance of the nector source.

Do hummingbirds eat nectar?

Most Definitely YES! :D Hummingbirds are oftentimes seen flying from flower to flower, sticking their long beaks into the center to sip any available nectar that is inside the flower.

This is also why hummingbird feeders are filled with sugary water, providing hummingbirds with a food source that is similar to plant nectar.

Transfer of pollen from flower to flower or within flowers is the way that honeybees pollinate flowers. The insects in question (Apis spp) seek floral nectars.
