The coolest thing I ever saw was two honeybees rescueing a third from drowning.
The two on the edge of the container joined front legs, and then backed the butt of one into the water until the drowning one could grasp her back legs. Then they pulled her up, and dried her off.
Astounding.
A new Science study shows that bumble bees can position a ball underneath a fake “flower” to reach a reward, suggesting they can exhibit spontaneous problem-solving and challenging the notion that such advanced cognitive abilities are exclusive to large-brained vertebrates. https://scim.ag/4vs08dC
