What to Do

• IF YOU’RE THE SCOUT BE
  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 BE
  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.
