Honeybees have one of the most remarkable communication systems in nature. When a worker bee discovers a rich source of food, she does not simply keep the discovery to herself. Instead, she returns to the hive, she performs a special movement known as the "waggle dance". By moving in a figure-eight pattern and shaking her body, she tells the other bees exactly where the flowers are. The angle of her dance shows the of the food in relation to the sun, while the length of the waggle reveals how far away it is. What makes this behaviour so impressive is its .

Urban Green Space Conservation
The urban landscape of historic Europe is well known for its aesthetic value and striking contrasts: its dense historical architecture, its winding rivers and canals, and its expansive, meticulously maintained parks. Many of the most beautiful zones are designated heritage sites and are protected from commercial development. When city planners think of urban green spaces, they think of botanical gardens, as well as tree-lined avenues. Most urban green spaces are publicly owned but are occasionally interspersed with private courtyards.
Many residents associate urban green spaces with psychological restoration and physical health. They spend their free time jogging or cycling there or go to the park for a picnic or an open-air concert. In summer, people go to community gardens and cultivate vegetables and other plants.
Urban green infrastructure faces many threats. Some are associated with modern urbanization practices, and the emission of pollutants harmful to trees and urban wildlife. Land is also needed for new apartment complexes. The historical center, an area of land within many older cities, is under increasing pressure because of the need for land. Plans to build new transit routes are strongly opposed by organizations trying to protect urban ecosystems. Activists set up blockades to prevent, or delay, the construction work.
[I] Megacities in Asia and South America have vast areas of dense architecture, and there are many districts, especially in the central business zones, where few natural elements exist. In the rapidly expanding suburbs, it is common to see massive concrete structures surrounded by highways and industrial zones. [II] In Tokyo, São Paulo, Jakarta and other megacities, seas of high-rises reach the horizon and there are many miles between major public parks. Only about 20% of megacity residents live within walking distance of a nature reserve. Amenities like botanical gardens and hiking trails may be further away and seeking outdoor recreation can mean driving long distances. [III] Some families even have to commute from their dense neighborhoods to the city outskirts where the nearest forest is situated. In spite of the disadvantages, many people who live in megacities say that they like the dynamic, economically vibrant, fast-paced environment. [IV]
