Explanation:
Waggle dance is a term used in beekeeping and ethology for a particular figure-eight dance of the honey bee. By performing this dance, successful foragers can share, with other members of the colony, information about the direction and distance to patches of flowers yielding nectar and pollen, to water sources, or to new nest-site locations.
A waggle dance with a very short waggle run used to be characterized as a distinct (round) recruitment dance. Austrian ethologist and nobel laureate Karl von Frisch was one of the first, who translated the meaning of the waggle dance.
The waggle dance - the direction the bee moves in relation to the hive indicates direction; if it moves vertically upwards the direction to the source is directly towards the Sun, the duration of the waggle part of the dance signifies the distance. Faster the waggle dance, closer is the food available.
