Bees in the Heather - Schoeters is a Scottish Country Dance. It was devised by Veronica Schoeters in about 1994 and published in Exeter 25th Anniversary. It is S3×32 3C, a proper 3 Couple Longways dance. In this dance the couples are permuted by: 231. St32.
The animation plays at 120 counts per minute normally, but the first time through the set the dance will often be slowed down so people can learn the moves more readily. Men are drawn as rectangles, women as ellipses. Each couple is drawn in its own color, however the border of each dancer indicates what role they currently play so the border color may change each time through the minor set.
An online description of the dance may be found here.
The dance contains the following figures: set, cast, figure eight, hands across, hey, mirror hey (and probably others).
