Bees Can Count
Busy Intelligent Bees
New UK Research
This is an amazing discovery. Researchers at Queen Mary University of London have discovered bees can count. They do so by using just 4 nerve cells in their brains. The team made the discovery using computer simulations of the bee brain.
Insect Inspired Miniature "Brain" Simulated on Computer
Turns out bees can solve clever counting tasks. This research was just published in the journal Science. They can count small numbers of items when checking out one object, then inspecting the next object and doing the count, and so on. This is very different from how humans count. We glance at all the items and count them together.
Bees Are Intelligent
The researchers have concluded that bees have impressive cognitive abilities with minimal brain power. Their findings demonstrate the intelligence of bees. This innovative research approach will potentially prove the same levels of intelligence in other animals. It also has ramifications for AI and robotics. The scientists believe the bees use their flight movements to scan targets, rather than using numerical concepts, to count. Bees have 1 million brain cells. Humans have 85 billion brain cells.
