That ball had him pinned against the wall pretty solid, sure glad the little guy got out!🐝

Anyone think that maybe all species are evolving? Except man of course.

I considered a PhD proposal (having both a degree in soil sc and a background in mechanical engineering) .. laying cut leaves (shaped) and building obstacle course to see how well worms could negotiate them. but was laughed at remember this is an animal with no eyes and no brain yet ..... 4/

Sounds like bees need to start paying taxes.

we need to give them gravity guns

It DOES have nectar though, so it’s not a complete loss

@aptshadow.bsky.social

Give the bee's citizenship already!

be,

The scientist walking into the room

Don't you mean "None of my BUSI-wax"? Ehh? Ehh?

damn ya that would’ve cooked ngl

Having concrete recorded evidence of things is good

everyone knows that things fall down. why do these silly "scientists" spend all day trying to prove it? it's obvious! gravity mavity

so where is your paper?

This bee is waiting for Jigsaw to appear and ask if he wants to play a game…

To the bee-mobile!

Set him freeeee 😢

True! Depends on the species, iirc. The ones in my area seem to mostly be the solitary type. I love them 🥰

She's probably from a captive hive, living in the lab with her sisters and mother. So long as they're being cared for, I'm doubt they're hard-done by.

They've demonstrated that the bee has advanced problem solving skills. That's not the same as consciousness.

Just imagine you as a human would have that task. Cling to a ball that's as huge as you roll it to a target location and then climb on it.

And they’re not consuming a few gigawatts to do it.

Big whoop. I could have solved it quicker.

there is nectar in the blue circle. the bee knows that brightly coloured things usually have nectar on them. because bees know what flowers are. they bee is in too small of a space to comfortably fly to the circle., but the styrofoam ball is just the right size for it to climb on and reach it.

Boy we sure don't know what this whole show is all about.

Many configurations of words can all accurately describe different facets of the same phenomena

Previous research has shown that bees appear to actively like playing with balls, and do so even without being given a reward, or being trained to. What do you think is abusive here?

Guessing this is more in the name of attempting to save the bumblebees, whose populations are plummeting, and that the bumblebee pictured does not live in the little box.
