They are doing the Waggle Dance :) The Waggle dance is a term used in beekeeping and ethology for a particular figure-eight dance of the honey bee. By performing this dance, successful foragers can share, with other members of the colony, information about the direction and distance to patches of flowers yielding nectar and pollen, to water sources, or to new housing locations. A waggle dance with a very short waggle run used to be characterized as a distinct (round) recruitment dance . Austrian ethologist and Nobel laureate Karl von Frisch was one of the first who translated the meaning of the waggle dance. [ link to en.wikipedia.org]
