How do honeybees communicate with each other?

If a bee finds a good source of nectar, how does it tell the rest of the hive exactly where to go?

Honeybees use a complex physical movement called the 'waggle dance'. By dancing in a figure-eight pattern inside the dark hive, the angle of the dance indicates the direction of the flowers relative to the sun, and the duration of the waggle indicates the exact distance.
