[Pollinator] Questions about bees and grooming

[Sabrina Malach]

Hi everyone,


I just got an email from a Canadian children's author  working on a book
for very young children about animal grooming. She wants to confirm that
the  information about the bees' grooming dance is accurate.


If anyone has knowledge on this, can you please check the text below and if
you have changes to make, please send them to: ettakaner at hotmail.com


"That’s what bees do. Bees do a cleaning dance to tell other bees in the
hive that they want to be cleaned. They may have dust, pollen or mites that
they are unable to clean off themselves. So they dance by stamping their
feet and shaking their bodies."


Thanks!
Sabrina
