How do honey bees “communicate” with one another?
They communicate by “dancing.” Honey bees do a dance which alerts other bees where nectar and pollen are located. The dance explains direction and distance. Bees also communicate with pheromones, a unique odor common to the particular beehive. • What does “super” mean to a beekeeper? Supers are the hive boxes in which honey is stored, usually placed above the deeper box called the “hive body”, where brood is reared.
