The Nobel Prize for deciphering the language of bees was awarded to

The Nobel Prize for deciphering the “language” of bees — specifically the discovery that honeybees communicate the location of food sources via the waggle dance — was awarded to Karl von Frisch. His pioneering ethological work on bee communication earned him the Nobel Prize in 1973, explicitly linking him to the waggle dance discovery [1]. Other options are separate Nobel laureates in different fields: Dorothy Hodgkin received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1964 for her work on vitamin B12 structure, which is unrelated to bee communication [2]. Thus the correct choice for the researcher who deciphered bee language is K.V. Frisch (option 2) [2].
