The more I learn...Celestial Navigation

Here is an article that was pointed out to me a while back.

Most of you probably are aware of the waggle dance that bees do to direct their sisters to the best nectar sources.

This article discusses that dance, and a couple other bee dances as well as how bees are able to navigate. They really are amazing little critters!

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?
