    It's no wonder that insects don't bother trying to learn to speak-they communicate through interpretive dance and pheromones instead. Honeybees waggle their bodies in fixed directions and durations to signal where food is, while moths spray scents to get their points across. Put on your leotard and express your feelings like a bee.
    This video is episode four from the series Why Insects Matter: Earth's Most Essential Species, presented by Scott Solomon. Learn more about insects at: www.wondrium.com/RUclips

    I have to say, no one who has explained the waggle dance communication has ever done it in a manner that I can understand the whole concept. For example, where is the sun point relative to the direction of the waggle. How much does each waggle means in distance. Why do some bees get so close and disturb the waggle dance instead of watching from a specific direction. How is it that all bees understand the direction when they are viewing the dance from different perspectives?

      That's a great suggestion! We'll share your comments with Professor Elizabeth Vandiver and our team. Professor Vandiver has recorded several lecture series for us in the field of classical history and literature which include the following:
      Great Authors of the Western Literary Tradition
      Classical Mythology
      Odyssey of Homer
      Iliad of Homer
      Greek Tragedy
      Herodotus: The Father of History
      Aeneid of Virgil

      @@TheGreatCourses Thanks for replying, I actually watched them all. I'm big fan of yours since the great courses, and Professor Elizabeth Vandiver is still my favorite. I always requested an interview with her from you. since we don't see her in the internet platform like we do with mary beard for example. I suggest everyone to have her courses they are intriguing and never boring. she taught me so much. and I suggest to you to remaster her old lectures or make new ones by her. that will surely be exciting!

    If there is gravity on the objects then why we can't control the objects around us without touching them . If there is really gravitational force among the objects then why .

      That's not how Gravity works, it only manifest in massive objects, like moons or planets, you should Google a video about it.

    it's interesting but I still can't get used to it, nor do I understand why scientific programs refuse to use the international system of units. When you publish something in the local media you can use thinds like Farenheit so people whom are still living two hundred years ago, understand how the world in the future will look like.
    However, when you make use of an international medium, please...use international units!
    So now after 4 minutes I had to stop the video to find out about how much celcius you were talking... and getting so tired of it, expecting you will come with more messure units from two hundred years ago, I decide to go to something else.
    I was subscribed because I thought it was contemporary knowledge... but it seems it isn't.
