Used in a sentence: "The Waggle Dance is not the craze that's going to replace you watching folks whip poor nae-nae ... but it is an amazing discovery about how bees communicate with each other, proving yet again that we humans are not as unique as we think we are."
And, to make matters even more potentially astounding, the Waggle Dance also incorporates general math-iness by communicating both distance and location of a food source as compared to the sun through its choreography. Who would have thought that watching tiny bees swivel and shake their little bee hips all Elvis-like would actually be the witnessing of a message that ensures the hive can continue about its business?
So the next time you see a bee out and about, you feel free to encourage it to "get down and shake its honey maker" (note: I'm assuming you are still stuck in the 70's and speak the language of the disco) ... unless, of course, you're allergic. And then, you know, just run like hell, as the Waggle Dance is not for you.
