@EdH The dance is directions to the site with the pollen and it would be like following your car's guidance to a specific destination. There are scout's that go and search for rich and abundant sources who then come back to the hive and give the directions to the other bee's.
My guess is that the scout has located the one set of lavender and they are working to harvest it whilst the scout is out looking for other nutrient rich locations.

Bees are the coolest. Just got a fresh batch of my neighbors honey. Can’t beat local!
The hornets have been getting territorial about the peaches. A couple different types, including the bald-faced hornets which are black and white. Couldn’t get a pic of those but got this one. They absolutely destroy some peaches.

Recently found these colourful guys. Don’t know much about them other than harmless (no sting etc).
The journey is the objective.

@motojobobo wow those are so neat looking.
I found these wings outside the other morning. No thorax, head, antennas, etc to be seen.

This little git has been buzzing around the house for days, unable to find and make use of one of the many open windows to escape, and generally being a PITA whenever we were cooking. The dog just discovered his corpse under the coffee table.
Kinda beautiful their iridescent colouring when you can get a good look.
Take the dive...

Somebody thinks wings aren’t tasty!
Me guess would be a racoon or feral cat.
