Sounds are an important part of the communication behavior, the so-called dances, of the honey bee. Stingless bees, which do not use dances for communication, use sound signals to indicate the existence and, in some cases, the distance of a feeding place. The social organization of communities of stingless bees is more primitive than that of honey bees, yet certain commonfeatures of communication behavior in these two groups lead to a new hypothesis of the evolution of dancing behavior of the honey bee.
声音是蜜蜂所谓“舞蹈”交流行为的重要组成部分。无刺蜂不使用舞蹈进行交流，而是利用声音信号来指示食物来源的存在和在某些情况下的距离。无刺蜂群体的社会组织比蜜蜂更为原始，但这两个群体的某些共同的通讯行为特征导致了对蜜蜂舞蹈行为进化的新假说。
