Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that honey bees communicate by dancing?

Yes. Multiple sources state that honey bees communicate through dance, including the waggle dance, which conveys the location and quality of food and other resources to nestmates. One reference work states the claim directly, and a review of the dance-language controversy concludes von Frisch's theory is on the whole correct.
