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.
Rare nests of marbled murrelets discovered
Rare nests of marbled murrelets discovered After a decade of searching British
Colombia’s coastal rainforests, scientists have discovered
two rare nests of the marbled murrelet—a threatened species
of sea bird previously thought to nest in B.C. only on old-growth
conifers—the two new nests were found on a cliff edge in an
alder tree. The find suggests that the murrelets are more adaptable
than previously thought. JANUARY 12, 2001
