If you ask most people around the world their true desires, their answers will be the same: health, happiness, and to ride around in a chariot pulled by thousands of bees. Thankfully, scientists have brought us closer to that last desire this week — they’ve successfully taught a group of the tiny insects to pull on string in exchange for a reward. Even better, they don’t need to train the bees individually, discovering that when allowed to observe their compatriots, bees from another group could pick up the skill without human input.
The researchers, from Queen Mary University of London, managed to teach 23 out of 40 bees from the original group to pull the strings to access food on a disc that was hidden under a plastic cover. Bees from another group were then introduced to the testing chamber at the same time as their fast-learning friends, one at a time, so they could observe how to yank their own treats.
