bees evolved to avoid the web

I have a question about the waggle dance: How do the other bees see and read it? Looking at it from a top-down perspective, humans can see it clearly, but the bee standing on the same plane and looking at the dancing bee - which is the same size as he is - surely can't see the details? Especially when there're 50 other bees moving around.

Another question is how does the information propagate through the hive? Or does it only need to be seen by a few and then those bees can just say "follow me" in chemical speak?

Cheers!
