How do you prove intelligence in an animal that only lives for a few weeks?

Lars Chittka tells us in an entertaining way about the wonders of natural intelligence even in tiny animals. Bees develop fascinating abilities in Swarms, but are also amazingly intelligent as individuals. New groundbreaking research shows that they think and feel, that they have personality, if not consciousness. Bees count, recognize human faces and use General Tools, they solve problems by thinking and react individually to external stimuli. And they do all this with completely different sensory organs: thanks to their compact nervous system, they navigate precisely and store information, their antennae are as multifunctional as Swiss knives.

It is time to recognize bees as sentient and thinking beings.
