Please explain each of the three steps of the honey bee waggle dance.

abdomen rapidly. The more she waggles, the further the distance. Third, flower type. The pollen
she collected provides a scent clue for the others to smell for. Her presentation is a success.

spread the word until the hive is finally full.
