Waggle dance.

Honey bee (Apis mellifera) foragers communicate the location of rich food sources to other members of the hive through dances. When the food source is located more than 50 m from the hive, they perform the waggle dance (von Frisch 1974). The forager waggles its abdomen from side to side as it walks in a straight line on the comb. The angle at which the bee moves relative to vertical relates information about the direction of the food source relative to the sun. The bee then circles around before repeating the waggle run, dancing in a figure-eight as long as it has other bees in attendance. Remarkably, the foragers that attend the dance account for movement of the sun when they set out in search of the food source (Dyer 2002).
