Do you know how bees talk? But it turns out that they have their own language for communication. Everyone knows that these insects live in a very organized society with their own laws and a well-defined hierarchy. It would be impossible for a bee family to live without mutual understanding. But how exactly they communicate with each other, it became known relatively recently. The Australian zoologist Carl von Frisch discovered this bee language. It turns out that bees communicate through specific intricate gestures and dance-like movements. With such peculiar dances, for example, a scout bee can inform its relatives about the nearest clearing full of nectar flowers, the distance and direction to it. The discovery of the communication language of bees was considered a very important event in the development of natural science, and this fact was marked by the award of the Nobel Prize to the zoologist in 1973. However, many scientists studying the behavior of insects were very skeptical about the discovery, believing that bees cannot have just such a peculiar and complex language for communication.

But in 1992, scientists from Denmark created a robotic bee, trained in all the movements of the "dance" of the language of communication, which were described by the zoologist Carl von Frisch. And surprisingly, the real insects watching the "dancing" of the robot bees flew to the exact place that was indicated in the descriptions of the Australian zoologist who unraveled the language of communication.
