Data-Driven Quantification and Comparison of Honey Bee Waggle Dance Regions
This study introduces a data-driven geometric method using convex hulls and confidence ellipses to quantify honey bee waggle dance regions, providing spatial metrics for comparative analysis. The approach demonstrates sensitivity to hive size, temporal factors, and experimental context, offering a reproducible framework for studying bee communication patterns.
