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

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

00:08these little insects have an incredible intelligence.

00:12Recently, researchers have discovered that bees have indesemotions propers

00:16and poor ant meme hatred with the sensations.

00:19They can, for example, show signs of anxiety in stressful situations,

00:23like a predator attack.

00:25They then show themselves prudent and indecisive,

00:28even avoiding perfectly sure flowers.

00:31This tends to show that they could have similar feelings

00:34to what we call emotions.

00:36They can also feel discomfort or pleasure.

00:40Scientists have trained bees to associate certain colors with rewards.

00:46When these bees received a surprise,

00:49they seemed happier and more tenacious.

00:51It's not the same at home?

00:53We also put these bees in situations where they had to choose

00:57between discomfort and a reward.

00:59These insects have shown that they could weigh different options

01:03and make decisions based on their feelings.

01:06This suggests that they could be bothered, just like us.

01:09They can even exhibit complex emotions,

01:12such as optimism, frustration and bewilderment.

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

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

01:23There are more than 25,000 different species of bees in the world,

01:27each with its own unique way of life.

01:30They live in a world of totally different sensations from ours.

01:34They see, in particular, things in ultraviolet and polarized light.

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

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

01:49A big turn in the evolution of bees took place much earlier,

01:52during the Jurassic period.

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

01:59This change forced them to remember the location of their nest,

02:03without which they would find themselves in difficulty.

02:06Their brains therefore adapted,

02:08and certain regions became larger and more complex

02:11in order to manage all this new information.

02:13And today, millions of years later,

02:16bees have become incredibly intelligent creatures,

02:19and even able to solve mathematical puzzles.

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

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

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

02:35so that bees can locate themselves.

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

02:42they used colors.

02:44Blue meant to add one,

02:46and yellow meant to subtract one.

02:49Bees had to choose the right path

02:51according to the colors they saw at the beginning of the labyrinth.

02:54After a little training,

02:56during which the bees made a hundred trips through these labyrinths,

03:00they seemed to have got the hang of it.

03:02Then came the test.

03:04These little insects came up with the solution in most cases,

03:08which is always better than if they simply died at random.

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

03:16nevertheless.

03:18But they could have malleable brains,

03:20able to learn new tasks,

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

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

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

03:33They thus showed bees images with different numbers of shapes,

03:38rewarding them with sweets if they chose the image that contained the coins.

03:44But if they opted for the image with the most shapes,

03:48they received a taste of happiness.

03:50Once the bees understood the principle,

03:52the researchers introduced a new option,

03:55a blank image without any shape.

03:58And the bees chose this blank image,

04:00rather than images with two or three shapes,

04:03almost half the time.

04:04This suggests that they understood that 0 is less than 2 or 3.

04:08In more advanced experiments,

04:10bees showed that they could make the difference between 1 and 0.

04:14This could help them keep predators

04:17or find food sources more efficiently.

04:20And if bees can understand 0,

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

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

04:29but they can also teach them to each other,

04:32just as we do.

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

04:37and trained beekeepers to solve it.

04:39First, expert beekeepers solved the puzzle.

04:42Then, they taught their friends how to do it without clues.

04:46It turns out that humans are not the only ones

04:48able to transmit knowledge in this way.

04:51In another experiment,

04:53bees received a puzzle to solve over several days.

04:56Although they spent a lot of time solving it,

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

05:02But once they saw the solution,

05:04they did not take long to understand.

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

05:12its innovative ideas could last

05:14and shape their society for several generations,

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

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

05:23like the famous honey dance,

05:25seem to be influenced by social learning.

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

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

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

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

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

05:45so that the biologists had to teach them.

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

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

05:54After a few days of training,

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

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

06:03What is not insignificant,

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

06:08When they were faced with new situations,

06:11they refined what they had already learned

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

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

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

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

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

06:31They think and adapt to new challenges.

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

06:38It is a huge collective consciousness,

06:41where everyone serves their queen relentlessly.

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

06:48It seems that bees have distinct personalities.

06:53And yes, certain samples of enthousiasis tend to scatter

06:56as perfect with their prehistoric shape.

06:59A small percentage of bees, called lighters,

07:02show a certain interest in strong sensations,

07:05by looking for new locations for the colony.

07:08These daring lighters are not only more likely

07:11to search or build new nests,

07:14but also to participate in the search for food.

07:17And there is a huge difference in the genetic activity

07:20of lighters compared to their worker counterparts.

07:23The lighters' brain has shown an increased activity

07:26in the reward system.

07:29This is where their enthusiasm for new experiences comes from.

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

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

07:38Sometimes their personality is even shaped by their memories

07:41and past experiences.

07:44Some bees would even show signs of post-traumatic stress.

07:47Thus, in the hive, bees choose their tasks

07:50according to their personality traits.

07:53They can also be trained to detect any smell.

07:56They are extremely sensitive to volatile substances.

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

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

08:05with a reward in sweet water.

08:08After a repeated exposition,

08:11bees have quickly learned to extend their tongues

08:14in response to this one smell,

08:17without needing any reward.

08:20Thanks to this, they have been able to detect

08:23the infected samples in a few seconds.

08:26This has worked with samples of bees and humans.

08:29The experiment has shown very promising results

08:32in the distinction between healthy and infected samples.

08:35Now, we are trying to implement this innovative approach

08:38and to develop prototypes of machines

08:41that can train several bees simultaneously.

08:44This technology has the potential to serve

08:47as an effective diagnostic system,

08:50especially in low-income countries.

08:53And bees can accomplish many other things.

08:56They can learn during their sleep,

08:59which means they are able to dream

09:02and see in dreams the things they saw during the day.

09:05They can also remember human faces.

09:09In a study, scientists have associated

09:12images of human faces with sweet water

09:15and have discovered that bees recognized

09:18and remembered faces associated with the reward,

09:21even in the absence of this one.

09:24This also helps them to recognize each other

09:27and to return to flowers that produce more pollen.

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

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

09:37and have a certain form of consciousness,

09:40this radically changes the way we should consider them.

09:43They are already a threatened species.

09:46And maybe, now, we should treat them with much more care.

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