Bees communicate within their colonies primarily through the use of pheromones and dance. Pheromones are chemical signals that bees release to convey information about food sources, danger, or the location of the hive. The famous waggle dance performed by honeybees is another form of communication where they indicate the direction and distance of a food source to other members of the hive.
