Bees communicate by making special dance movements. When a new source of pollen has been found, a bee will spread the good news by doing a special dance. For instance, if a bee dances in a circular motion then it means that food can be found nearby.
Forest Insects and Diseases
When insects get transported to another continent from where they normally live, sometimes they can get out of control and eat up the forests. The Global Forest Insect Quaratine Facility located at Simon Fraser University, British Columbia studies these insects to figure our ways to fight them if they do start to eat up the trees. Besides insects, we are also testing biological control agents to effectively treat forest diseases. These agents are naturally occurring in our forests.
