Show summary

Henry: Some scientists explain the dance of honeybees as the means by which honeybees communicate the location of whatever food source they have just visited to other members of the hive. ███ █████████ ██ ███ ████ ██ ███████████ █ █████████ ██ ███████████ ████ ████████████ ███████ █████████ █████████ ██ █████ ████ ██████ █████ █ █████ █████ ████ ███ ████ ██████ ████ ████ ████ ████████ █████ ████ █████████ ██ ████ █████ ███████████ ███ ███ ██████████ ██████

Speaker 1 Summary

Henry argues that the purpose of the honeybees’ dance must be for something besides alerting other bees to the location of food. This is because bees already have another method of communicating the location of food - scent trails from the food source.

Speaker 2 Summary

Winifred points out that animals can have multiple methods for achieving the same goal. So, it’s possible honeybees alert others to food sources through their dance, even if they already have another method for alerting others to food sources.

Objective

We’re looking for a point of disagreement. The speakers disagree on whether there must be another explanation for the honeybees’ dance besides the purpose of communicating the location of food.
