    • Abstract:
      The article reports on recent findings about the waggle dance used by bees for communication. It relates the secret language of bees through the waggle dance observed by Karl von Frisch in 1946. A study by Christoph Grüter and his colleague Walter Farina, has suggested that even if bees follow the waggle dance, they often fail to decode it properly, or ignore it completely. Entomologist Joe Riley from Rothamsted Research has also found that only 2 out of 19 bees followed directions to an unscented feeder, actually found it.
