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 do the waggle dance?

Bees do the waggle dance where they communicate to their hive mates. Is the term for a particular figure of 8 dance of the honey bee. This dance allows the bees to share information of the direction and distance of flowers; water sources,housing or pollen with their mates. Consists of one or 100 more circuits. A worker bees waggle dance is running through a figure of 8 called a "waggle run" which is followed by a turn to the right to circle back to the starting point; then followed by another waggle run but this time turning to the left. The bees adjust the angles of their dances to accommodate with the changing direction of the sun.


Which bee does a dance?

A honey bee shows other bees within the hive, the direction and distance of a supply of pollen that it has found. It does this by moving in different directions and shapes on a section of comb. These movements are known as the 'Waggle Dance'.

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.

Does a bee dance for its friends?

You are seriously 'anthropomorphizing' the little critters (interpreting their behavior as if you are observing people), but bees do 'dance' in a way. The movements are to inform other bees about the location of a near-by food source. The other bees get the message and are then able to locate the food source. Their movements have nothing to do with dance as we think of it. It's all about survival of the nest, and even that is not a conscious thought on the part of bees.
