Honey bee

Talks by dancing

Weird but true

A bee does a 'waggle dance' to tell its hive-mates which way the flowers are and how far.

More facts

  • A hive can have tens of thousands of bees.
  • Bees pollinate many of the fruits and vegetables we eat.
  • South Africa has its own subspecies, including the Cape honey bee.
