Detailed explanation-1: -Honeybees face the problem of learning to recognize and handle flowers with a useful set of predispositions and programs: they recognize flower-like targets innately, land on them, and explore them and if they provide food, they learn about them. Bees learn both to recognize and to handle flowers.
Detailed explanation-2: -Honeybees can learn delayed-matching-to-sample tasks and the rules governing this decision making, and even transfer learned rules between different sensory modalities. Finally, bees can learn complex categorisation tasks and display numerical processing abilities for numbers up to and including four.
Detailed explanation-3: -Honeybees (Apis mellifera) are capable of arithmetic, showing proficiency in addition and subtraction, new research reveals. The tiny bee brain is capable of numerical skills and short-term working memory previously attributed to the larger brains of some vertebrates.
Detailed explanation-4: -Most bees have short, thick bodies covered with hair and, like all insects, six legs and three body parts: head, thorax, and abdomen. The thorax in turn has three segments, each with a pair of legs. A tiny waist connects the thorax and abdomen.
