Honey bee waggle dancing – Beautiful!

Duration 3 minutes.

“When a honey bee forager finds a good resource – usually nectar or pollen – she can communicate the location to her nestmates with the waggle dance. We can view and decode this amazing behavior.”

  MIT scientists study spider web structure by translating it into music.
  
  We may one day be able to communicate with spiders in “language” of web vibrations.

    Makes me think of reading Charlotte’s Web as a boy and watching the movie as an adult. The ending made me sad as a child when she died but happy as an adult when her young went off to spread the word.

      Hello Bluenose,
      
      Charlotte’s Web, what a wonderful reminder. I have the same memories as you and the same reaction, although i still remember the devastation i felt as a boy and the reminder is still there watching it now.
