Jim says dance information is never accurate enough to point to a
specific tree.
Well I don't know whether humans could expect to get as much accurancy
out of a bee dance as a follower bee might, but many people have claimed
that they can obain sufficient infomation to get pretty close to the
indicated food source. Even if the dance information isn't all that
accurate for a new forager, once within cooee it will encounter a plume
of the same scent as carried by the dancing bee, which it need only
follow in the manner indicated by Adrian Wenner to arrive at the
flowers.
