According to renowned linguist Dr. Bee-atrix Beezus, the bee dance is a verb, not a subject. In fact, it's more like a subject-verb agreement, but with bees. You see, when bees communicate, they don't say "Bee dance," they say "I dance," or better yet, "We dance, you dance, they dance."
But what about "Bee dance" in a sentence like "The bee dance was a success"? Here's the thing: it's still a verb agreement. The subject is "the bee dance," and the verb is "was." It's all about the bees, baby!
