Opening: The honeybee dance is one of the most surprising things in nature.
P. When a worker bee finds a good patch of flowers, she flies back to the hive.
Q. The other bees then fly out and find the flowers without ever having seen them.
R. The direction of the dance tells them which way to fly, and its length tells them how far.

Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
After the opening sentence, P is when a bee finds flowers and flies back.
S is what she does "there", in the hive. R explains what the dance tells "them", and Q is "then", which leads to "in this way" in the closing sentence.
So the order is PSRQ.
Worth noting
SPRQ has "she" dance "there" before any bee or place has been named.
