From Thomas Seeley's "Honeybee democracy" https://archive.org/details/honeybeedemocrac0000seel (can be borrowed for free online at the @scholar ) with stories about his lab and early PhD work studying how bee scouts communicate and a swarm decides to move to a new home, including summaries from earlier, pioneering work by Martin Lindauer, to now Anna Hadjitofi and Barbara Webb https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0960982224002203 figuring out how a worker bee reads out the waggle dance from scouts and foragers. Quite the journey.

Nice write up by Shaena Montanari at @thetransmitter https://www.thetransmitter.org/neuroethology/dancing-in-the-dark-honeybees-use-antennae-to-decode-nestmates-waggles/
