Published: Oct. 16, 2022, 10 a.m.

We have covered the lives and behaviors of bees a few times here on the programme. So much so we thought we\u2019ve seen and heard it all. \n\nWell, we may have been wrong about that\u2026in particular, with something to do with the dance they perform in the hive and how it relates to their ability to communicate and navigate.\n\nProf. J\xfcrgen Tautz is a bee expert, animal behaviorist and Emeritus Professor at the Biozentrum, University of W\xfcrzburg and author of \u2018Communication Between Honeybees: More Than Just a Dance in the Dark\u2019 and he joined Jonathan on the show.
