Language of Bees
Discovered to Be
Scented Dancing
How They Tell Where
Honey Can Be Obtained
By WATSON DAVIS

Washington. = Bees have a
language of scented dancing.
By means of it a scout bee that
has made rich discovery can
send his fellow workers out
after honey with almost as
much dispatch as police are
rushed to points of need by
radio calls.
Scientists used to think that bees
located flowers by color or scent.
This is partially true. But In an
exhaustive study of the bee habits.
Prof K. Won Frisch of Munich found
that bees communicate with one
another by strange sort OF dance
performed within the hive. In this
way they tell where honey can be
obtained most easily.
Often 1t will take hours and some-
times days for a good feeding-place
to be discovered. But when one bee
has found the honey. many, per-
haps several hundred, will appear
in d very short time And they all
come from the same hive as the
discoverer.
They Talk by Dancing.
Professor Won Frisch set out to
discover the language or mode OF
communication Of the bees.
Here's what he found: II new
kind Of flower begins to bloom, it is
discovered by scout bee. He loads
up with honey and flies home. In
the hive he, reports the discovery
by a queer sort of dance, turning
round and round In q circle with
queer tripping little steps, once to
the right, once to the left, very Wig
orously, often for a minute on the
same spot. Other bees crowd around
with high interest. They rush out
of the hive and soon can be found
at the honey source.
The dance is a signal that honey
i has been found. The bee carries up
ON him the scent OF the flower con
tanning the nectar. The other bees
noting this odor search for It as
they fly out of the hive Tn all direc-
tons. Moreover, the discovering bee
returns to the good honey source
and broadcasts another odor Great.
