Worker bees communicate the location of a food source to other bees in the hive by performing a waggle dance.
Explanation:
The waggle dance is a series of movements including a figure-eight pattern and waggling the body. The duration and direction of the waggle part indicate the distance and direction of the food source relative to the sun. Other bees observe this dance and use the information to find the food efficiently. This behavior is a remarkable example of communication in animals.
