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.
Several sisters return with her to forage in the field. They in turn will bring back more pollen and
spread the word until the hive is finally full.
