Fascinating Article

Everyone is aware of the fact that bees communicate with each other by a "dance" done in the hive which indicates the location of good food sources by indicating not just the direction from the hive, but also the distance. The further from the hive, the more waggles of the tail on each pass of the dance. Within a certain radius, the dance figure changes to a circle.

What none have been able to discover yet is how the bees know this dance.

The article at this link though gives some fascinating leads though. Do bees sense quarks?
