BOTANY

Detailed explanation-1: -An individual bee vibrating its wings isn’t enough to raise the surrounding temperature significantly, but when thousands of bees vibrate their wings in a small space, the heat generated is enough to keep all the bees alive throughout the cold winter months.

Detailed explanation-2: -When a worker discovers a good source of nectar or pollen (note the pollen spores dusting this bee’s back), she will return to the hive to perform a waggle dance to let her nest mates know where it lies. A bee performs the waggle dance when she wants to inform other bees of a nectar source she has found.

Detailed explanation-3: -A tremble dance is a dance performed by forager honey bees of the species Apis mellifera to recruit more receiver honey bees to collect nectar from the workers.

Detailed explanation-4: -We’ve long known honey bees shake their behinds to communicate the location of high-value flower patches to one another, a form of signaling that scientists refer to as “waggle dances."

Detailed explanation-5: -Waggle dance is a term used in beekeeping and ethology for a particular figure-eight dance of the honey bee.
