Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The communication signals can be defined as the evolved cues that transmit information from one member of a particular species to another. The communication signal arises or retains only if these signal benefits both the signal sender and receiver of the signal. Honey bees communicate with each other through tactile displays, which mean that a touch is responsible for transmitting information.
