- jaclaz 5y agoYep, it was intended as a joke, halfway between a citation of The Matrix and the known joke about the Scottish black sheep: https://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/susan/joke/3.htm https://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/susan/joke/3.htm Of course bees can communicate between them, and probably also wasps.
- berkes 5y agoI'm a beekeeper, and one of the most profounding things to show people when they (anctously) look over my shoulder is this "bee waggle". It is clear and easy to see, (easier than that d* b* of a queen when you need her, most often), and it tells a lot about the cognitive abilities of a social group, the hive. How they can tell eachother complex directions by twerking. Kids love it too. And will often play around, wiggling their behinds (a cousin called it bee-twerking) and giggling how they are showing eachother where the sweets are by dancing.
