Honey Bees use dance to let their hive-mates know where the nearest food source is. They are two main dances: the waggle dance to signal a nearby pollen area and the waggle dance to communicate the direction and distance of a food source.

Spencer is a London based illustrator and co-founder of the illustration, design and animation company Peepshow Collective Ltd. He has been working to commission since 1998 in a world of neat piles of mess, coffee cups and ordered chaos. His work follows this theme with the creation of sketchy ideas and twisted thoughts, carried through into clean vectored, balanced images placed in dynamic flat colour compositions with the occasional introduction of texture.
