Bees swing their bodies at the door of the nest in order to send signals to bees and convey the information of honey source to bees. When the honey source is far away (100 meters above), bees start wagging their tails. Bees crawl along a straight line and then turn left. Its moving line is 8-shaped, and it swings its abdomen. The angle between the central axis of the dance and the top of the nest just indicates the angle between the direction of honey source and the direction of the sun.
When bees dance, their heads are up or down, which is related to telling the direction of the honey source: when bees dance, their heads are up, which means they must fly in the direction of the sun to find the honey source; When dancing with your head down, it means that you must fly away from the sun to find the honey source.

The meticulous division of labor, exquisite social behavior and effective overall operation of bees make them super-individuals and exist in natural ecosystems. They will convey information such as the orientation and distance of food to their companions in the form of "dance language". Scientists also found that they also have unique defense signals to remind their companions and warn their enemies when they are invaded by natural enemies.
They will start to dance "vibration dance" and hit the bodies of other collecting bees with their heads. Bees have formed their own special language in the long-term evolution, and can also send out "BB" sound signals composed of simple pulse vibration through voice alarm. Tell your partner not to go to dangerous places, or there will be danger outside. At this time, other bees will fully perceive the alarm from their peers through sight, hearing and smell.
