Topic: honey bee dance language

You don't hear much talk about this any more; it is a subject of debate even less so. There was heated discussion here at Bee-L over the years, like this from 1994: 

> For more than two decades we have been treated to one claim or another that the bee "language" issue has finally been resolved.  ...  Perhaps the major problem in this affair is that "language" proponents embrace results that support their belief system and dismiss results that do not fit the hypothesis. ... And I have yet to find a beekeeper who has benefited from the dance "language" hypothesis in its 50 years of existence. -- A. W.
