Summary Introduction

To review:

The kind of communication by a honeybee, conveying its hive mates about the newly discovered food source.

Introduction:

Honeybees are social insects and use various communication channels to convey information to other members of their hive. Most of the messages are conveyed by the buzzing sound, vibrations, and chemical signals released by the messenger. This mixed signal is considered to be a dance. These signals are received by the channels of hive mates and necessary action is taken.
