Which type of honey bee dance is responsible for communication in bees ?

  • A.Squiggle dance
  • B.Wiggle dance
  • C.Waggle dance
  • D.All of these

Answer: C

The dance is the Waggle dance.

Karl von Frisch showed that a forager bee returning from a distant food source performs a figure-of-eight dance on the comb, waggling her abdomen on the straight run. The angle of that run from the vertical shows the direction of the food relative to the sun, and the length of the waggle run shows the distance. For food close to the hive bees perform the simpler round dance.

'Squiggle dance' and 'wiggle dance' are not the names of these communication dances, so 'All of these' is also wrong.
