what does the waggle dance do
During the waggle dance, the bee emits a buzzing sound which is produced by beating its wings at a low audio frequency. As the distance to the food source increases, the waggle part of the dance increases. This dance conveys information to the other bees in the hive about the direction and distance to flowers for nectar and pollen. The duration of the dance and number of vibrations, lets the other bees know the exact distance.
