"Study demonstrates honeybees are capable of counting up to four"

A recent study proved that trained honeybees can count up to four landmarks in order to get to the food they were provided. Adding to that number caused them to lose count and reach different destinations.


It has been long known that bees (Apis Mellifera) are capable of remarkable things, perhaps more than other insects with a complex social life. They show signs of symmetry understanding, and they can use symbolic language (like their waggle dance) in order to "explain" the distance to and location of the pollen sources. The latest tests suggest that they are also able to communicate with other species, as well as to count, although not too far.

It could challenge Descartes' idea! :D
