We thought this was interesting...
Almost any day the bees may be seen storing the tiny droplets of honey, or pellets of pollen, they've collected from the flowers, or going about their many other hive duties.  The scout bees may be seen conveying information regarding new honey and pollen sources to the other members of the colony. They use sign language for this, which Dr. Karl von Frisch, an Austrian scientist, appropriately called the "bienen ballet." The so-called bee dance is readily interpreted by the workers who benefit from such information when they go afield to collect from the flowers.  Excerpt from Winter 1961 edition of Lasca Leaves published by the Southern California Horticultural Institute
