Waggle dance leads bees to nectar
The world famous mural of author HG Wells in Bromley town centre will not be returning - instead it will be replaced by one celebrating Charles Darwin, the council has revealed.
Radar has helped resolve a long-standing controversy about the purpose of a strange dance performed by bees, Nature magazine reports. The famous "waggle" dance contains information about the whereabouts of nectar, just as was originally proposed in the 1960s, scientists now claim. The theory met with scepticism, partly because people did not believe bees could decode such a complex message. But now radar tracking has proved they do follow waggle dance instructions.
