Description

Dr. Clint Perry and his fellow researchers at Queen Mary University in the UK have trained bumblebees to “score” goals. Bees involved in the study learned to move a mini-ball to a target by watching a magnet perform the task first, and by witnessing and mimicking their fellow bees. The findings, which were published in Science, demonstrated unprecedented learning abilities.
