Australian researchers have discovered that bees can count up to four, according to a study released by a local television.
Scientists have located five landmarks in a tunnel and put honey, in turn, in each of them. They have found that bees flew to the boundary with honey, even after the honey was removed. This means that bees have remembered landmark terminal number. Eventually the researchers put honey in the fifth terminal, but bees have not managed to return there. Scientists have concluded so that they can not count beyond the number four.
They said the researches revealed that bees that can live no more than a month, can learn colors and smells and be trained to deal with complicated mazes.The bee brain is no larger than a sesame seed, but scientists say,it has many similarities to the human brain, including complex connections such as advanced memory and learning ability.
