Waggle dance of Black Dwarf Honey Bee

A feature that separates the black dwarf honey bee from other honey bees outside of its subgenus is the orientation of the waggle dance, a method bees use to communicate location of resources. The large honey bee
species and the cavity nesting honey bees all share the location of a resource with a vertical waggle dance influenced by gravity and the position of the sun. In contrast, Apis andreniformis dances on the horizontal surface of the uppermost part of the nest and indicates resources as a straight line to the source.
