@addy1 Do they fly in a straight line back to their hive?
They fly straight from the food source back to the hive then dance to tell others where it is. The bees leaving the hive fly straight back to the food source and gather it up. Then come home full of nectar to dance and tell the others where the food is. They use the sun as a navigation point.
