Amazing Things Come in Small Packages
Honey bees prove that the size of an animal’s brain doesn’t matter when it comes to intelligence.
From Discovery:
Honeybees can count, categorize similar objects like dogs or human faces, understand “same” and “different,” and differentiate between shapes that are symmetrical and asymmetrical.
Honeybees help to prove that “animals with bigger brains are not necessarily more intelligent,” according to Lars Chittka, a professor of sensory and behavioral ecology at Queen Mary’s Research Center.
