For Arlie (Dancing Bees!)
Posted: Wed Oct 22, 2008 4:08 pm
I know I scared you with the Tarantula Hawks, so I thought I would share a couple videos about the adorable honeybee.
In the video you will see what is known as the "waggle dance." It's how the worker bee lets her hivemates know about a new food source. The first video is a short one (< 1 min), and the second video is a little longer (3 min) with more narration and better resolution.
I hope you enjoy!
