Scientists say bees can count to four

 

SYDNEY: Researchers have discovered that honey bees can count to four, a report said here on Sunday. A researcher from the University of Queensland put five markers inside a tunnel and placed nectar in one of them, Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) radio reported. 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. "We find that if you train them to the third stripe, they will look subsequently in the third stripe," researcher Mandyam Srinivasan said. "If you train them to the fourth stripe, they will look the fourth stripe and so on.
