The Waggle Dance of the Honeybee

How can honeybees communicate the locations of new food sources? Austrian biologist, Karl Von Frisch, devised an experiment to find out! By pairing the direction of the sun with the flow of gravity, honeybees are able to explain the distant locations of food by dancing. "The Waggle Dance of the Honeybee" details the design of Von Frisch's famous experiment and explains the precise grammar of the honeybees dance language with high quality visualizations.
This video is a design documentary, developed by scientists at Georgia Tech's College of Computing in order to better understand and share with others, the complex behaviors that can arise in social insects. Their goal at the Multi-Agent Robotics and Systems (MARS) Laboratory is to harness new computer vision techniques to accelerate biologists' research in animal behavior. This behavioral research is then used, in turn, to design better systems of autonomous robots.

  • Note: New research suggests that honeybees actually measure distances by the amount of optical information encountered during a flight. The energy model presented in this video derives from earlier work by Karl Von Frisch, but now seems to be refuted by the optical flow model.

  • This shows what many men know intuitively for centuries: that all of nature and all animals are intelligent. The trouble is that it takes a lot of intelligence to spot intelligence different from ours. Von Frisch was undoubtedly a remarkable mind to point out that bees have language just like we do. Awesome little documentary as well.

    • Because evolution is amazing and can "teach" a tiny insect both geometry and sign language? Imagine a human trying to explain 1) he found something useful, 2) how useful it is, 3) how far away it is, and 4) what direction, all without speaking or using his hands. Now shrink his brain by 100x and take away every advantage mammals have in social communication.

  • An interesting corollary behavior always unaddressed is this: how do the subsequent bees learn from those who preceded them? Do they count? Is there a sense of delay between beginning and end of the dance? Some of the watching bees inside the hive seem to orient themselves parallel to the axis of the waggle walk path.
