Bees comrnunicate with each other in the language of the dance, a German scientist reports. "When a bee discovers a source of honey, he loads up with the nectar and -starts for the hive, where he Teports the discovery by a queor sort of dance, tuvning Tound and round in a circle, with little, tripping steps. The other bees crowd around, then rusb out and find their way to the nectarbea,ring bldssoms. The dance, it is explained is a sign that tre&sure has been found; the bee c'avries on him the scent of the nectar, which the other bees use to pruide tbem to the place where the discovery was made. In addition, a bee can brqadcast another odor by means of an organ on his abdomen, for the guidance of the other member3 of thr hiv®.
