Circadian rhythms of about a day are ubiquitous in animals and considered functionally significant. Honey bees show remarkable circadian plasticity that is related to the complex social organization of their societies. Forager bees show robust circadian rhythms that support time-compensated sun-compass navigation, dance communication and timing visits to flowers. Nest-dwelling nurse bees care for the young brood around the clock. Here, we review our current understanding of the molecular and neuroanatomical mechanisms underlying this remarkable natural plasticity in circadian rhythms.

AbstractHoney bees use their dance to communicate flight distance and direction of a food source to their nest mates in the hive. How bees transpose flight information to generate a corresponding walking (dance) behavior is still unknown. We now present a detailed study of the changes in dance duration of individual bees after shifting feeder distance. Our experiments indicated that most bees needed two or more foraging trips to the new position before showing an updated dance duration. In addition, only a few bees significantly changed dance duration immediately, whereas most bees first produced intermediary durations. Double shift experiments showed that under certain conditions bees do not update dance duration but continued to perform dance duration for the previously visited feeder position. We propose that generation of dance information involves two memory contents one for newly acquired and one for previously stored distance information.One Sentence SummaryGeneration of dance information is temporally separated from immediate flight experience and involves two different memory contents.

The honey bee language is considered by many to be one of the most interesting systems for animal communications, used for recruitment to food sources. Honeybee's forager dancers communicate food and other resources to the household by quantity, consistency, direction, and spatial location. The waggle dance was interesting and complex, which bees used for spatial information on desired resources. All honeybee species use the waggle dance to convey their position and distance from food sources and possible new nest sites. The research was carried out on dance communication, earlier ideas, controversies, and solutions gave a broad overview. In this analysis, unique problems are focused on as follows: (a) multiple dance forms. (b) Distance and path calculation (c) How bees do dark hive dance.? Several experiments verified that bees perform various kinds of dance, depending on their particular task. There is, however, still a lack of comprehensive knowledge on other types of dances, which help us solve numerous questions and help us better understand the meaning of the different kinds of dances carried in and outside the hive by honeybees.
