Posted by In undergrad, I used to study learning and memory in honeybees so always felt a sort of respect for the hard life of a bee. If you never felt a little sad to see a honeybee die after spending its lone sting or a little in awe of their ability to use a brain the size of a pinhead to transmit the location of nectar, you might after watching this short animated film. Only complaint I have is the obvious slander of our avian friends!

Trippy.
One of the things I recently learned about bees that really fascinated me to no end was their ability to, for lack of a better word, cook whatever invader they find in their hive. Apparently, they all get together and move around a hell of a lot to raise the temperature of the invader to well over a hundred degrees by “thermoballing“.
