The Honey-Bee-Bop

The Honey-Bee-Bop
What to Do

  • IF YOU'RE THE SCOUT BEE:
    Hide your hive's flowers. Then follow directions to dance the Honey-Bee-Bop. The dance will tell the worker bees where and how far away the flowers are.
  • IF YOU'RE A WORKER BEE:
    Watch the Scout Bee's dance. Work with your hive-mates to understand the directions. Then go for the flowers!
Dance the Honey-Bee-Bop to Communicate:
  • Direction to the flowers: The "straight run" points to flowers.
  • Distance to flowers: The NUMBER and SPEED of the Honey-Bee-Bops in your dance tell how far away the flowers are.
