Bee Dance Language - the linguistics behind animal language

Bees dance to talk to their hive. How do they do it?

Come look at one of nature's linguistic wonders: the bee waggle dance. This dance is so surprisingly communicative that it often gets called a language!

The length of the "waggle" part of the waggle dance contains distance information. The angle of the waggle run communicates the direction.

Other info might be hiding in the waggle dance, like familiarity, with experienced bees noticing the smell of a familiar flower:

The dancer bee might circle around for fewer waggle runs if the destination is dangerous, with some help from scents and good old fashioned bee headbutting:

If we compare other bees in other parts of the world, we even find waggle dialects and the possibility of social learning:
