Main Idea & Details Name Score Read the passage. Write the main idea and three details. The Waggle Dance When a honeybee discovers a rich patch of flowers, it faces a problem. It must somehow tell the rest of the hive exactly where to find the food. Bees cannot speak, so a scout uses a special movement called the waggle dance. Back at the hive, it runs in a figure-eight while shaking its body. The angle of the dance points the other bees toward the sun and the flowers. The longer the bee waggles, the farther away the food is. Thanks to this dance, thousands of bees can find a single flower patch. Scientists study the waggle dance to understand how animals share information. Main idea: Detail 1: Detail 2: Detail 3:
