The Honey Bee dance can help transfer so much information to the rest of the hive. It can transfer the precise distance and direction. It is also helping researchers to learn more about the bees and the resources they are using.
Ted Talk has a talk by Margaret Couvillon about honey bees that is worth a look. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcXkQBY0i0k. She talks about the waggle dance and it's use for finding nectar, pollen, a new nest site, and more. This talk is just over 12 1/2 minutes.
NOVA also has a 3.25 minute video about the waggle dance at http://video.pbs.org/video/2300846183/.
Do the waggle dance!
