Bees know how to count

With brain size just like sesame seeds, honey bees have shocked the scientists of Australia and Sweden as they show their mathematical recognition at their basic level.

On October 26, after a period of research into bees' behavior, Australian scientists at the University of Queensland announced information about honey bees capable of counting up to 4 on ABC radio.

The zoologist experts of the university designed an observable pipe from the outside, which placed five counting bars, between the lines for interfering pollen. Then they released bees into the pipeline and the experts found the bees flying from the first to the third, fourth and the process repeated over time, though scientists later Remove the pollen from the count lines in the pipe.

Researcher Mandyam Srinivasan of the University of Queensland said that if humans train bees, they will be able to count up to four, but the ability to recognize these small animals is only here and they have not seen they can go any further.
