Waggle dance shows how much bees like pollen
Honey bees use a "waggle dance" to indicate to others in the hive what direction pollen is in, and what the quality of the pollen is.

However, researchers investigating differences in bees' reactions to pollen have found that not all strains of bees evaluate the quality of pollen equally.
