Andrey- Bees

When watching the video on the behavior of bees, I couldn't really decide if their communication through dance was sacred or just a utility to gather nectar. Could it be both? The dance definitely has a meaning behind it, which is ultimately survival, so I guess that using dance as a means to stay alive makes that action in itself sacred. The dance seems to promote unity among the hive and focus the group on one central goal, which is what dance does. The bees, just as humans do, become one with the rhythm and consume themselves with each others' energy.
