Interesting topic of the day-bee dancing!!! When a hunter bee returns to the hive it tells the other bees the location of the nectar, by dancing! There are three kinds of dance-the round dance showing that nectar is 5m away from the hive, the sickle dance showing it is 5-20m away and the tailwagging dance when it's more than 20m away. And if this wasn't amazing enough they can convey even more information!! The faster the dance the more nectar there is, and the direction they face when dancing indicates which direction to fly in when leaving the hive!!
So clever!
