Could a dead end genetic signal from genetically altered plants or soil run off in water they drink have an effect on instinct patterns?

They dance by shaking their bottoms and walking around in circles or figure-eights. The pattern they use shows the others where the flowers are, how far away, how many, etc. It's quite remarkable. And yes, I have heard that genetically manipulated plants have a negative effect on bees. Another good reason not to mess with Mother Nature.

They do a special dance in the hive to let the other bees know where the pollen is.

When they return to the hive they do a dance which has a specific pattern that defines direction and distance.
This is from research many decades old.

they dance to communicate( really it is coordinated movements that mean different words letters or phrases in bee language) Sort of like US Sign language-- the movement of the body to mean different words. :.)
