New Study Says Honeybees <br />Can Do Basic Math The report comes from the journal, 'Scientific Advances.' In a trial, scientists had 14 bees complete a maze that either led them to <br />sugar water or a bitter liquid. In the maze, the bees had to either add or subtract from a number of shapes that would end with them getting a tasty sugar treat or the alternative. Bees were placed through the trial <br />four times to see if they could remember the correct math to get sugar. After completion of the tests, scientists say the bees recorded a correct score of 72%. 'Scientific Advances', via study
