4. The Waggle Dance: Sharing Findings
Once a scout bee discovers a promising site, she returns to the swarm and performs the famous waggle dance.
Through intricate movements, she shares vital information about the site’s distance, direction, and overall quality.
The more enthusiastic and persistent the dance, the better the site being advertised.
Other bees observe and interpret these dances, helping the whole swarm weigh the options.
