One of the most famous bee dances is the "waggle dance". When a bee finds a good source of nectar, it returns to the hive and performs a special dance in the shape of a figure eight. The direction of the waggle tells other bees the direction of the food source relative to the position of the sun. The length of the dance tells them how far away the food is — the longer the dance, the further the journey! This amazing "bee language" allows them to work together to find food and keep the hive healthy. In addition to the waggle dance, bees also use special scents to communicate danger, signal the presence of their queen, and even warn other bees about bad-tasting flowers.

The fashion industry is considered to be one of the fastest-growing industries today, yet it has faced some significant challenges throughout its history. It's not a secret that fashion industry takes its negative toll on the environment. Clothes production cannot cope with limited water consumption, and its carbon footprint increases daily. People buy tons of cheap garments which end up in landfills in less than a month. The situation might get worse if consumers don't change their habits in the coming years. There are some healthy fashion trends that may help to make fashion sustainable. Consumers are choosing brands that do not hurt animals and the planet in the process. The younger generation chooses second-hand shopping giving clothes another life. And brands promote recycling to save on raw material and natural resources.
