Bees are thought to communicate by using "dances". They fly around in certain patterns that other bees can recognize. In particular, their dances can tell other bees where to go look for food. How they perfrom the dance can give an indication of the direction and distance of the food. Check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bee_learning_and_comm unication.
