waggle dance
The waggle dance is a dance is a dance observed in the Western honey bee (Apis mellifera), which encodes the direction and distance of a food source that is located at a long distance [generally assumed to be around 100 m and more] from the nest.
Direction is encoded in the orientation of the waggling run relative to gravity [...]. Distance is encoded in the duration of the waggling run. Other bees observing the dance use the spatial information it contains to fly to the general location of the food and odors carried by the dancer to pinpoint the actual resource.
