  "abstract": "Today, we know how to decode the honey bee dance, but some uncertainties remain, particularly regarding the appropriate capture frequency (or video framerate). The average oscillation frequency of dancing honeybees is close to 13 Hz with a maximum slightly higher than 18 Hz. Several studies using cameras recorded the honey bee waggle dance at conventional framerates of 25 or 30 fps. However, according to Shannon's theorem, the capture frequency should be at least 36 Hz. Our study focused on the analysis and processing of a theoretical signal oscillating at 15 Hz. Our objective is to demonstrate the importance of framerate in optimizing the capture of honey bee dance behaviour in computer vision process using spatio-temporal approaches. Using several diagrams, we illustrate the impact of different framerates, as well as the impact of a phase shift between the oscillation of the dance and the video frames and provide an example of a hardware choice recording at 60 fps. We also demonstrate the negative impact of low framerates using an automatic honey bee dance analysis script.",
