Look after the bees, we NEED them, they do not need us. Most of the crops that feed the world are pollinated by bees. So no bees, no crops.

Marco, no, to my knowledge, bees are the only ones to do this. Ants' communication is by pheromones, chemical scents. Only eusocial insects would do this. Wasps communities do not have advanced communication. Neither do termites.

Too many questions are answered just by looking at the picture they show right above it.

What's almost as amazing is that the inside of the hive (either natural or man made) is completely dark, so they can't even see their little buddy strut their stuff.

Last paragraph on pheromones; It is the entrails\guts exposed when the barbed stinger is ripped from it's body. Same thing happens when you kill one in close proximity to others. They get kind of antsy (pardon the terminology)

Tom, wasps may not be as advanced, but they communicate.They post guards and come to the aid of the matriarch of the hive\nest if need be.

Atz, agreed! In the instructions for creating a question, it says NOT to use a picture that gives away correct answer.

My daughter has kept a number of Ant farms. Some purchased and some from the wild. They did used to wiggle a bit when encountering each other but it certainly wasn't dancing.

How very interesting. Do ants and wasps do something similar? Do all species of bees do this?
