Honey bees that dance to give directions to flowers make more errors when performing horizontally due to gravity, say researchers.
Female foragers perform "waggle runs" on the hive's honeycomb for other bees.
The intricate movements display the direction and distance of the flowers from the hive.
Researchers from the University of Sussex are "eavesdropping" on bees to find out more about where they feed in Britain.
