        "transcript": "<p>The hive is hungry.</p><p>Some 30,000 honey bees need pollen. Now.</p><p>A single jar of the honey you can buy in any store requires a million flower visits.</p><p>Scouts disperse several miles in each direction, searching for untapped fields.</p><p>This scout makes a promising find.</p><p>Pollen sacs bulge from her legs.</p><p>But she can't harvest all of it herself. She needs help. Lots of it.</p><p>She spreads the news of her find-by dancing.</p><p>This \"waggle dance\" is based on a figure 8.</p><p>The scout moves at an angle, waggles, reverses direction, and waggles some more.</p><p>Her \"Flower Point\" presentation has to communicate three things.</p><p>First, she moves at an angle. The angle indicates the direction of the flowers in relation to the sun.</p><p>The hive's honeycombs are built vertically, so straight up means toward the sun.</p><p>Down means away from the sun, and so on.</p><p>Second, distance. She waggles her abdomen rapidly. The more she waggles, the further the distance.</p><p>Third, flower type. The pollen she collected provides a scent cue for the others to smell for.</p><p>Her presentation is a success.</p><p>Several sisters return with her to forage in the field.</p><p>They in turn will bring back more pollen and spread the word. Until the hive is finally full.</p>",
