Hit the Dance Floor

Bee language is dancing. Bees have a dance floor in their hive(no, seriously!) and when they return from a good food source they will get down with their bad selves to let the others know the direction and distance of that source. This is accomplished through a "tail wag" type of dance. The dance floor is usually near the entrance inside, but in warm weather the dance floor can move outside the entrance. Next time you find a great restaurant, try telling someone about it by wagging your behind.

Here you see some of my girls touching down from their early morning pollen gathering flights. Note the full pollen bags on the back legs of the one in mid-flight. The other one seems to be practicing some sort of bee breakdancing.
