Из жизни пчел

It was found that in their hive a bee can tell the other bees where honey is based on this kind of dance. It [the bee] goes in the direction where the honey is, and then it waggles its posterior with a certain frequency that corresponds to how far away the honey is, and it vibrates kind of phonetically while doing this waggling to indicate how rich the source is.
