What is a waggle dance? "Waggle dance is a term used in beekeeping and ethology for a particular figure-eight dance of the honey bee...
By performing this dance, successful foragers can share, with other members of the colony, information about the direction and distance to patches of flowers yielding nectar and pollen, to water sources, or to new housing locations."
