From Wikipedia 'Waggle dance is a term used in beekeeping and ethology for a particular figure-eight dance of the honey bee. By performing this dance, successful foragers can share, with other members of the colony, information about the direction and distance to patches of flowers yielding nectar and pollen, to water sources, or to new nest-site locations.' So are bees all geeks inventing arcane schemes to make their knowledge more mysterious ????? Seems really weird. But when the option is to lead each individual by the hand through the flight you have taken a system for communicating efficiently saves a lot of time and effort. Wikipedia does seem eventually to produce enjoyable prose, I liked this bit. 'By performing this dance, successful foragers can share, with other members of the colony, information about the direction and distance to patches of flowers yielding nectar and pollen, to water sources, or to new nest-site locations.' It applies perfectly to music theory . Unless you don't really know the dance. But bees can do it, some things just take practice, and I guess you need to be hungry. And noone can cover the ground for you, so on it's own understanding the dance isn't that useful. D.
