My wife saw a bee doing a waggle dance on the bird bath (actually, it's a bee watering hole, I guess) today. It did a complete waggle dance with all the twists and turns, then took off and flew away. Is it unusual that a bee would try to recruit bees actively doing work the hive needs? Or was it about something else?

It is not strange for the bee to bee recruiting other bees. What is strange for the bee to be doing it outside of the hive.
Maybe Michael Bush knows why they would bee doing it at the bird bath.

Practicing her routine for the big show on the comb! :cheesy:
I've seen them on the comb. I've seen them on the surface of a swarm cluster. I have not seen them anywhere else... Apparently something triggered the instinct where she was at the time...
