These Honeybees Have Mastered Twerking: How They Do It

Honeybees are famous for their wiggling, waggling dances, which they use to communicate with others in their hives. Now, a new study reveals the anatomical limits to a honeybee's moves. "Our research on the ultrastructure of the FIM [folded intersegmental membrane] is of great significance to reveal the bending and flexing motion mechanism of the honeybee abdomen," study researcher Shaoze Yan, of Tsinghua University in China, said in a statement.
