"Experiments on the division of labour in honeybee hives have revealed why some bees do the waggle dance while others nurse their queens.
The roles require drastically different behaviours, with nurses feeding the larvae and performing royal grooming duties, and foragers navigating great distances and performing complex dance routines to point others in the direction of rich sources of nectar."
