Honey bee foragers perform waggle dances to inform other foragers in the hive of the location, presence, and odor of beneficial food sources and new hive sites. The aim of the study under review was to investigate how characteristics of waggle dances for natural food sources and environmental factors affect the behavior of dance followers. Due to the hypothesis that the profitability of food sources tends to decrease with increasing foraging distance, an hypothesis that the attractiveness of a dance, measured by the number of followers of the dance dance and their attendance, decreases with increasing distance from the projected food location was formulated. In addition to the hypothesis, it was assumed that the time of year and the noise of the dance signals or the variation in the direction and duration of the wriggling run affected the behavior of the dance followers (Al Toufailia et al., 2013). Apis mellifera, commonly known as the European or Western bee is a eusocial insect. Eusociality is a term used to describe living in cooperative groups in which one female and several males are reproductively active (Winston, 1981). All non-breeding individuals in the group care for the young or protect and provide for the needs of the group as a whole. These insects practice eusociality, their hives contain a queen, a fertile female, who has all the offspring of the colony. The hive contains a few male drones to mate with the queen. Additionally, the hive contains thousands of workers, sterile females, whose tasks include keeping the hive clean, building the hive's wax combs, caring for the young, and foraging for food ( Engel, 2001). Honey bees need to communicate within their colonies to accomplish all of these tasks. Although communication within the hive is a very important aspect of the Western honeybee,...... middle of paper ......is insignificant when compared to the potential loss of over 15 billion dollars worth of agricultural crops that bees are responsible for pollinating each year (Paxton, 2010). Without the western honeybee, Apis mellifera, there would likely be a devastating ecological imbalance. The experiment conducted at the University of Sussex showed that dance enthusiasts respond to the characteristics of wagging dance. Although dancing behavior and the factors that cause a bee to emit these signals are better understood, understanding of how natural dance enthusiasts use different informational components in their foraging decisions is still limited. Additional research on follower behavior, signal reception, and information use strategies under natural circumstances is needed to understand the waggle dance of the western honeybee (Al Toufailia et al.., 2013).
