dancing bumblebee

I talked to a friend last week. He told me about a great video he watched about a dancing bumble bee. is it true that before she returns and puts the nectars she gathered from the flowers, she will first do a voodoo dance around her beehive?and why?

That’s honeybees, not bumble bees. And yes, they “dance” when returning to the hive from a successful search for food. This dancing communicates to other bees the direction and distance to the food source so they can find it, too.

And if you want to learn all about I believe the correct term to look for is “waggle dance.”

Oh, you must mean this one. :slight_smile:
