Older bees teach younger bees the ‘waggle dance’

with an intricate series of movements. In the waggle dance, bees circle around in figure-eight patterns, while wagging their bodies during the central part of the dance. It’s kind of like a breakdance performed at a breakneck speed, with each bee moving a body length in less than one second.

The video shows the first waggle dance of a honey bee that was able to follow and observe other bees dancing before she began her first dance. As a result, her first dance is significantly more orderly and accurate. CREDIT: Dong Shihao/University of California San Diego Bees typically begin to dance when they reach the right age and always follow the lead of experienced dancers first, but in these experimental colonies, they weren’t able to learn the waggle dance from older bees.By comparison, the bees that shadowed other dancers in the control colonies that had a mix of different aged bees didn’t have problems learning to waggle.

yeah my dad compared me to em... kidding
