Math is famously divisive. Some people like to say they’re not “math people” if they have trouble with the subject (though, that might not actually be a healthy approach). Well, guess who have turned ...

A new experiment in which bees were trained to associate symbols with numbers suggests we can communicate with insects in ways not thought possible. An Australian-French collaboration is claiming to ...

Bees are certified math whizzes, with scientists now discovering that these tiny insects are capable of associating symbols with the numbers they represent. It's well-known that bees are quite adept ...

It might sound hard to bee-lieve, but honeybees can match symbols to numerical values, according to a study. The finding, published Wednesday in the Proceedings of the Royal Society B, a scientific ...

We all know that some animals are very smart, dogs can be trained to perform impressive tasks, and primates can use sign language, and there are other smart animals. Most don't likely think of bees as ...

Behavioural studies have revealed that the processing and representation of numerical magnitude are qualitatively similar across species and across human development. Reliable effects such as the ...
