Abstract
In our recent article [1], we discussed the ways in which the honeybee waggle dance provides followers with different kinds of information about food sources, such as their presence, odour or location [1]. However, the traditional interpretation of dance following, the decoding of spatial information (‘dance language’), seems to explain only a small proportion of following events [2,3]. Therefore, we argued that to understand the means by which the waggle dance modulates honeybee-colony foraging, researchers need to take into account a range of different decision-making strategies of dance followers [1].
