Abstract Synopsis
- Honey bees use a complex waggle dance to communicate the location, distance, and quality of food sources to their hive mates.
- The study shows that bees need social learning by following other dancers to perform accurate waggle dances, with those unable to follow others making more errors.
- While some dance errors improve with experience, the ability to encode the distance correctly appears to be learned early and remains fixed, highlighting the importance of social learning in shaping bee communication.]
