Question

what 3 properties regarding food sources can the bee dance communicate? how is each feature of the food source represented in the dance? what can we conclude when we compare this communication system with human language?

Answer 1

Bee dances can communicate direction, distance, and quality of a food source. Direction is communicated by the angle the dance is performed in. distance is conveyed by the length of the dance. Quality of food is communicated by quickness in the waggle dance and length in the round dance.
