Honey bees have the ability to count from one to four
I read from the news that bees can count to four. Scientists in Australia discovered honey bees have the ability to count from one to four. They proved by putting five markers inside a tunnel and placed nectar in one of them. The honey bees placed in the tunnel flew to the marker with the food, and would still fly to the same marker stripe when the food was removed. The researchers said “We find that if you train them to the third stripe, they will look subsequently in the third strip. “If you train them to the fourth stripe, they will look the fourth stripe and so on. But their ability to count seems to go only up to four. They can’t count beyond four.
