Bees communicate within the hive primarily through a complex system of dance movements known as the "waggle dance." This dance involves a bee waggling its body in a figure-eight pattern to indicate to other bees the direction and distance to a food source. Additionally, bees also use pheromones, such as the queen bee's pheromones to maintain social order and cohesion within the hive.
