So you think you can dance? Get this: worker bees use dancing to recruit fellow foragers and communicate the location of food, water and shelter. Known as the “waggle dance,” this fancy footwork is just one example of how honey bees work together for the good of the hive.
Since ancient times, beehives have been a symbol of cooperation and productivity. These days, when bee populations are dwindling, we’re taking a cue from the hive mind and building partnerships to help protect endangered pollinators.
As I shared yesterday, Whole Foods Market® has teamed up with...
