Bee Dance Game

 

 Scout Bee's

Some games are met with little to no interest and others complete enthusiasm.
The Bee Dance fit in the latter description.
I found this in the best nature curriculum book yet, "Big Book of Nature Activities".

The object of the game is to have the 'Worker' bee's find the flower hidden by the 'Scout' bee based on the dance provided and antennae connection.
A tight circle dance, in both directions, indicates that the flower is less than 300 feet away.
A figure eight pattern indicates the pollen source is further than 300 feet away.

 

 Figure Eight Dance

Once the Scout has hidden the flower, returned to designated hive and performed the appropriate dance, they touch antennae to identify the flower.
