Hello there fellas! Have you discovered anything new about our beloved bees? I feel specially happy this week cause last Tuesday I celebrated my birthday, so this week post will be extra special.
Have you ever heard about “dancing bees”? Well, as you already know all the member bees from a hive work together in order to create what makes our toasts cheerful: honey! In order to, our lil’ workaholics take scouts roles and go out of the hive looking for some flowers and nectar. And when a bee finds a golden treasure of fields with blossoms, she certainly wants to communicate and show it to her sisters. And even though it sounds weird, she does that by dancing!
With choreography of moves and buzzing, a bee tells her sisters the direction in which the flowers are, and how far they are. I could certainly explain you the whole move, but this deep voice will make the work for me: here you have the called “waggle dance” …
Apparently our friends will never stop surprising us. Can you imagine designing a whole dancing system so you could communicate with your friends just my moving yourself? Sounds like fun! (As I really like dancing)
Ohh! And by the way we can certainly add dancers and choreographers to our list of bee roles , not to mention mathematicians again … wonderful!
This is all by now bee lovers! See you next week.
PS. I’m preparing a new bee challenge … so keep in touch :]
