As interesting as bee dances is bee memory.  I once watches a bee visit about
15 dandelion clocks (seed heads) in succession before I lost sight of her.
Clearly she was relying on her memory of these plants as nectar sources perhaps
two days earlier.  I wonder how many foraging bees return to the hive empty
bellied?
