Once the bees are beyond a particular distance from the pollen source,
their dance changes into a six dimensional dance related to quantum
mechanics theory.  Prof. Schiffer recognized the pattern of the dance from
some bee books she had in her bedroom as a child, and was able to see the
connection between the six dimentionsal geometry she was teaching in her
math classes. quantum mechanics theory, and bee communication.  Neat, eh?
