FIRST EVENT – Global Waggle Dance Challenge <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Honeybees are known to communicate in a dance language called the waggle dance<\/strong>. It is an important part of how they provide food for the bee community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The direction the bee moves in relation to the hive indicates direction of the food source (pollen or nectar); if it moves vertically, the direction to the food source is directly towards the sun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objectives<\/strong> – To be a part of the 20,000 waggle dance videos uploaded, from 20 countries, to represent the 20,000 species of bees that exist globally!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
