Definition
Insect behavior defined by bees locating pollen in distant fields and returning to the hive with a dance pattern that teaches other bees how to access the pollen location.
Applications
In the digital realm, the bee dance takes the form of a hyperlink shared between one person to many others. Examples of bee dance behavior in humans can be seen on Twitter or Facebook in the form of posted URLs in status updates. Short URLs are a more efficient form of bee dance.
