Why talk when you can dance instead? That\u2019s how bees communicate. Their \u2018waggle dance\u2019 is a wonderful phenomenon and one that not only bees themselves benefit from. Other living creatures, including humans, do so too, because bees are a vital part of our ecosystem: their welfare is our welfare.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In the early 20th century, the unusual behaviour of honeybees piqued the curiosity of behavioural scientist Karl von Frisch (1886\u20131982), who grew up in Vienna. He was intrigued by the way the insects sometimes move in circles and perform a figure of-eight \u2018waggle dance\u2019. In time, von Frisch discovered that when doing so, bees are in fact \u2018speaking\u2019 a dance language to the other members of their hive to show them where they can find pollen and nectar. Although originally disputed by other scientists, von Frisch\u2019s theory eventually earned him the Nobel Prize in 1973.<\/p>\n
