Beekeeping has the appeal to the scientist, the nature lover, and even the philosopher.

[Adam Rossi @rossiadam]

I spend a lot of time watching bees.

And I can say with some authority that they are - individually and collectively - amazingly intelligent problem solvers.

Excerpts from a few studies showing their impressive math abilities:

“Honeybees can be taught simple arithmetic. The have been trained to note the colors and numbers of objects they saw, and then to add one to numbers of blue objects or subtract one from numbers of yellow objects.

For example, if the bees flew through a maze that contained three blue shapes, and they were then presented with a choice between two or four items, they consistently chose the group of four.

Honeybees have also been shown to understand the number zero, which is something that even human children struggle with.

Very young children, for instance, don’t seem to regard the empty set as a numerical quantity at first. Instead, they consider it an absence, a category of its own, unrelated to other values. While children usually grasp the counting numbers by age 4, it often takes another two years for them to gain an understanding of zero as a number.

The honeybee study raised eyebrows, not just because it showed that an animal with fewer than one million neurons in its brain (compared with the human brain’s 86 billion) could treat zero as a quantity, but because bees and mammals diverged in evolution 600 million years ago. Their last common ancestor “was [barely] able to perceive anything,””

📢 Don't forget to check your beehives for varroa mites 📢

Varroa mites can be a significant threat to bee colonies, even during winter. If mite levels are high, consider appropriate treatment methods.
