What is the waggle dance of a bee?

When a worker returns to the hive after finding a new source of nectar, it will go on to the comb with the other workers, pass them samples of the nectar so they can identify it then follow a circular or figure-of-eight path, and on part of which it will stop and waggle its abdomen rapidly. The angle between the direction the bee is facing while doing this and the vertical gives the direction from the hive with respect to the sun, and the duration of the waggle gives the distance to the new source.


How does a compass determine the directions?

The term "compass direction" means a direction shown by a magnetic compass, one whose needle will be drawn to a north-south alignment. When at a location and facing a certain direction, the "compass direction" is the one at the top (front) of the moving compass rose.

What is directional exposure of windows?

Directional exposure of windows refers to the orientation of a window in relation to the sun's path throughout the day. East-facing windows receive morning sunlight, west-facing windows receive afternoon sunlight, north-facing windows receive consistent light without direct sun exposure, and south-facing windows receive the most sunlight throughout the day. Understanding directional exposure is important for designing buildings that maximize or minimize solar heat gain depending on the climate and energy efficiency goals.
