The waggle dance is not just fancy footwork, the waggle dance is a highly evolved form of communication that bees use to share the exact location of a forage source with the rest of the hive. Here’s some waggle 101: 💃 The duration of the waggle indicates the distance to the flower source 💃 The more vigorous the waggle, the more abundant the nectar 💃 The angle of the waggle to the sun represents the angle that the bees need to fly at to reach the flowers So, the next time you see a bee busting

When a forager finds a new nectar source, she returns to the hive and performs a waggle or round dance to show the exact location — using the sun and hive as reference points. She even shares a taste of the nectar so others can recognise it by scent. All of this happens in total darkness! ✨ #BeeFacts #NatureIsWild #SaveTheBees | Flow Hive | Facebook
