00:00 It is fascinating to observe how rusty the burdens are.

00:04 Although their brain is the size of a tiny seed of pavos,

00:08 these little insects have an incredible intelligence.

00:12 Recently, researchers have discovered that bees have indesemotions propers and poor ant meme hatred with the sensations.

00:19 They can, for example, show signs of anxiety in stressful situations, like a predator attack.

00:25 They then show themselves cautious and indecisive, even avoiding perfectly sure flowers.

00:30 This tends to show that they could have similar feelings to what we call emotions.

00:35 They can also feel discomfort or pleasure.

00:39 Scientists have led bees to associate certain colors with rewards.

00:45 When these bees received a surprise, they seemed happier and more tenacious.

00:51 Isn't it the same for you? We also put these bees in situations where they had to choose between discomfort and a reward.

00:59 These insects have shown that they could weigh different options and make decisions based on their feelings.

01:05 This suggests that they could be bothered, just like us.

01:09 They can even exhibit complex emotions, such as optimism, frustration and spying.

01:15 And these are not the only surprises that these bees have reserved for us.

01:19 Bees are much more than just honey-producing pollinators.

01:23 There are more than 25,000 different species of bees in the world, each with its own unique way of life.

01:29 They live in a world of totally different sensations from ours.

01:33 They see, in particular, things in ultraviolet and polarized light.

01:38 They can even feel the fluctuations of magnetic and electric fields on the ground.

01:44 This helps them to determine which flowers have already been visited by other bees.

01:49 A big turnaround in bee evolution occurred much earlier, during the Jurassic period.

01:54 Their ancestors then decided to go from a nomadic life to a sedentary life in hives.

01:59 This change forced them to remember where their nest was, otherwise they would find themselves in difficulty.

02:06 Their brains therefore adapted, and certain regions became larger and more complex in order to manage all this new information.

02:13 And today, millions of years later, bees have become incredibly intelligent creatures.

02:19 And even able to solve mathematical puzzles.

02:22 Ah, if I had such friends in high school!

02:25 And yes, bees seem to understand the concepts of addition and subtraction.

02:30 Researchers have set up mathematical, special, letter-shaped labyrinths,

02:35 "I" so that bees can find their way around.

02:38 Instead of using numbers or symbols that bees cannot understand,

02:42 they used colors.

02:44 Blue meant "add 1" and yellow meant "subtract 1".

02:49 Bees had to choose the right path according to the colors they saw at the beginning of the labyrinth.

02:54 After a little training, during which bees made a hundred trips through these labyrinths,

03:00 they seemed to have taken the lead.

03:02 Then came the test.

03:04 These little insects have found the solution in most cases,

03:08 which is always better than if they had simply trusted chance.

03:12 This does not mean that bees will perform complex calculations in their heads, however.

03:17 But they could have malleable brains, able to learn new tasks,

03:22 even if they are not used to the natural state.

03:25 They also showed a certain understanding of the concept of zero.

03:29 Scientists then trained them to recognize the smallest of the two numbers.

03:34 They thus showed bees images with different numbers of shapes.

03:38 They rewarded them with sweet milk if they chose the image that included the coins.

03:44 But if they opted for the image with the most shapes, they received a taste of quinine.

03:50 Once the bees understood the principle,

03:52 researchers introduced a new option.

03:55 A blank image, without any shape.

03:58 And bees chose this blank image,

04:00 rather than images with two or three shapes, almost half the time.

04:04 This suggests that they understood that zero is less than two or three.

04:08 In more advanced experiments,

04:10 bees have shown that they could make the difference between one and zero.

04:14 This could help them keep predators or find food sources more efficiently.

04:20 And if bees can understand zero,

04:22 who knows how many other animals can do the same?

04:25 Not only bees can learn and remember new things,

04:29 but they can also teach them to each other, just like we do.

04:33 Scientists have set up a complex puzzle in a laboratory,

04:37 and trained beekeepers to solve it.

04:39 First, the beekeepers solve the puzzle.

04:42 Then, they teach their friends how to do it.

04:46 It turns out that humans are not the only ones able to transmit knowledge in this way.

04:51 In another experiment, bees received a puzzle to solve in several days.

04:56 Although they had a lot of time to solve it,

04:59 they could not do it without a little human assistance.

05:02 But once they saw the solution, they did not take long to understand.

05:07 It was also discovered that if a particularly bright bee belonged to the group,

05:12 its innovative ideas could last and shape their society for several generations.

05:17 In a curiously similar way to that of humans.

05:20 Even behaviors that we thought were purely instinctive,

05:23 like the famous honey dance, seem to be influenced by social learning.

05:28 Bees can even be trained to use tools,

05:31 a skill that we thought was reserved for some mammals and some birds.

05:36 A test was designed where bees had to move a small ball

05:39 to the center of a platform to obtain a sweet reward.

05:42 Bees do not do this kind of thing in the wild,

05:45 so that biologists had to teach them.

05:48 By using a plastic bee at the end of a stick,

05:51 researchers illustrated the task in front of the bees.

05:54 After a few days of training,

05:56 they began to push the ball to the center on their own.

05:59 And again, they showed other bees how to do it.

06:03 What is not insignificant,

06:05 is that they did not simply copy the technique blindly.

06:08 When they were faced with new situations,

06:11 they refined what they had already learned

06:14 and chose the most effective way to success.

06:17 For example, when they were given the choice between balls of different colors,

06:21 bees chose the one closest to the center,

06:24 even if they had been trained in different conditions.

06:27 This proves that bees do not just follow instructions.

06:31 They think and adapt to new challenges.

06:34 We tended to consider bees as a homogeneous workforce.

06:38 It is a huge collective consciousness,

06:41 where everyone serves their queen relentlessly.

06:44 But this conception is also questioned by new research.

06:48 It seems that bees have distinct personalities.

06:52 Thus, certain samples of entourage tend to be the most popular with the press of the Rocher.

06:58 A small percentage of bees, called "lighters",

07:01 show a certain interest in strong sensations,

07:04 seeking new locations for the colony.

07:07 These bold lighters are not only more likely to search or build new nests,

07:13 but also to participate in food research.

07:16 And there is a huge difference in the genetic activity of lighters bees' brains

07:21 compared to their worker counterparts.

07:23 The lighters bees' brains have shown increased activity in the reward system.

07:28 This is where their enthusiasm for new experiences comes from.

07:32 It is also very similar to the attraction for novelty

07:35 that we find in humans and other animals.

07:38 Sometimes, their personality is even shaped by their memories and past experiences.

07:42 Some bees would even show signs of post-traumatic stress.

07:47 Thus, in the hive, bees choose their tasks according to their personality traits.

07:52 They can also be trained to detect any smell.

07:56 They are extremely sensitive to volatile substances.

07:59 And thanks to this, they can even detect diseases.

08:02 Bees have been trained to associate the smell of infected samples

08:06 with a reward in sweet water.

08:08 After a repeated exposition, bees have quickly learned to extend their tongues

08:13 in response to this one smell, without needing any reward.

08:17 Thanks to this, they were able to detect infected samples in a few seconds.

08:23 This worked with samples of visons and humans.

08:26 The experiment showed very promising results

08:29 in the distinction between healthy and infected samples.

08:33 Now, we are trying to implement this innovative approach

08:36 and develop prototypes of machines

08:39 capable of automatically training several bees simultaneously.

08:43 This technology has the potential to serve as an effective diagnostic system,

08:48 especially in low-income countries.

08:51 And bees can accomplish many other things.

08:54 They can learn while they sleep,

08:56 which means they are able to dream and see in a dream

09:00 the things they saw during the day.

09:02 They can also remember human faces.

09:04 They remember the unique characteristics

09:07 and can recognize them over repeated interactions.

09:10 In a study, scientists associated human faces with sweet water

09:15 and discovered that bees recognized and remembered faces associated with the reward,

09:21 even without it.

09:23 This also helps them to recognize each other

09:26 and to return to flowers that produce more pollen.

09:30 So, what does all this mean for us?

09:33 If it is true that bees really feel emotions

09:37 and have a certain form of consciousness,

09:39 this radically changes the way we should consider them.

09:43 They are already a threatened species.

09:45 And maybe, now, we should treat them with much more care.

09:49 So be very careful with our friends bees.
