- Abstract
The article presents a study which identifies that honeybee and its waggle dance emerged as a model of animal communication and social behavior. It is mentioned that biologists have been trying to figure out how wagglers convey this information and attract recruits in the darkness of the hive. It was found out that waggling-dancing bees have shown that odors picked up while foraging may help recruits pinpoint a rich food source.
