A groundbreaking study published in *Science* reveals that bumblebees possess advanced problem-solving skills, akin to those observed in primates. Conducted by researchers from the University of Oulu, the experiment involved a circular arena where bumblebees had to manipulate a foam ball to access a sugary reward hidden beneath an artificial blue flower. Remarkably, 75% of the bees that had previously encountered the task components successfully solved this challenge without prior training, indicating their ability to use insight rather than trial and error. The researchers found that bumblebees could remember the location of the reward and manipulate objects relative to that goal. This study not only highlights the cognitive flexibility of bumblebees but also raises questions about the extent of intelligence across various species. The findings suggest that even small-brained insects like bumblebees can exhibit complex behaviors, challenging traditional views on animal intelligence and adaptation in changing environments.
