    That was clever wasn’t it. What is really clever though is how bees “tell” other bees where nectar and pollen is to be found outside of the hive.
    This is something that is well known by beekeepers. We see this every time we open the hive for an inspection.

    The reason that I am showing this to you though is that I find the explanation clear and understandable, so that even if you know about bees, you can understand this type of bee communication.

    Take a look at this video:

    I agree, and it was explained so well with the illustrations.
