	A Bee Dance is a type of behavior performed by bees ~~when locating pollen in distant fields. It is used to notify~~ other ~~hive members of the location of the honey in~~ the hive.

A Bee Dance is a type of behavior performed by scout bees returning from a hunt for food and other resources outside the hive. Each dance pattern contains resource location instructions for the other bees.<ref>Seeley T.D., Visscher P.K., Passino K.M. (2006). "Group decision making in honey bee swarms".
