Bee Dance

🐝Did you know that...?
Was the bee dance discovered by Karl Von Frisch in 1945? Initially his discoveries were not taken into much consideration by the scientific community, but they soon had to change their minds.
In fact, Karl studied bees directly in the field, bringing with him years of studies and observations which demonstrated how bee society was organized in a very complex way, so much so that it could almost be compared to human society.
In fact, the scholar observed how within the super hive organism, each individual had very specific roles.
To this day his research is still taken into consideration to understand the world of bees and its structure.

The waggle dance - the direction the bee moves in relation to the hive indicates direction; if it moves vertically the direction to the source is directly towards the Sun. The duration of the waggle part of the dance signifies the distance. CC BY 3.0
