Von Frisch's work showed that the "dance" performed by honeybees communicates information about the direction of the nectar source relative to the position of the sun. The angle of the dance indicates the direction, and the duration of the dance relates to the distance. The color of the flowers or the quality of the nectar is not communicated through the dance.
