Product Description
He was intrigued by the way the insects sometimes move in circles and perform a figure-of-eight waggle dance. In time, von Frisch discovered that when doing so, bees are in fact speaking a dance language to the other members of their hive to show them where they can find pollen and nectar. Although originally disputed by other scientists, von Frischs theory eventually earned him the Nobel Prize in 1973 for achievements in comparative behavioral physiology and pioneering work in communication between insects. It is not just bees themselves that benefit from this wonderful phenomenon, as other living creatures, including humans, do so too. Honey bees, wild bees and bumble bees are a vital part of the ecosystem: their welfare is our welfare.
