Bees need to sleep and will rest several hours each day during the eternal daylight of polar summer. The Mind of a Bee" is an absolutely incredible book about (you guessed it) the minds of bees! A very deep delve into the sensory world of bees, you start to understand what is important to them and how they perceive the world. Sometimes this book had some sciency references that were a little hard for a lay person like me to follow, but overall this book was very easy to understand and was written very well. I also learned some amazing things, and I'll try to be less afraid of bees. Bees, he discovered, learn best by watching other bees successfully complete a task, so “once you train a single individual in the colony, the skill spreads swiftly to all the bees”. Bees could be trained to solve maze puzzles (e.g., turn right if the entrance is blue, left if yellow) and retained the memory for life.

Blue pollen is uncommon and I’ve not noticed this colour before in the apiary. The photo doesn’t do its brilliant periwinkle-blue justice. Without the addition of saliva, and being tamped down in the cell, pollen looks different in a bee’s corbiculae.

They also have very rich and complex emotional lives, they can learn from each other as well as other animals, they can be taught to solve complex problems, and their minds are incredibly powerful thinking machines. Currently, we can't even design a robot that behaves as efficiently as a bee. Thanks to Lars Chittka’s captivating account of bees’ thinking and feeling, I now look with fresh eyes at these small animals. They plan ahead, feel pain, and express their very own personalities. The ingenious experimental evidence Chittka offers in support of these and many other points is as convincing as it is fascinating.”—Barbara J. King, author of Animals’ Best Friends: Putting Compassion to Work for Animals in Captivity and in the WildBees don’t have eardrums, so they don’t hear like humans, but they do hear. A new human that has never gone to a heavy metal concert hears 20-20,000 Hz. Bees feel air movements with their antenna, sensing sound waves ranging from 20-500 Hz, and can feel hive vibrations with their feet. Like Rhianna said, “let the bass from the speakers run through ya sneakers.” (Or was that Bee-yoncé?)

Our work and that of other labs has shown that bees are really highly intelligent individuals. That they can count, recognise images of human faces and learn simple tool use and abstract concepts.”Researchers can follow the wandering of individual bees by attaching a 15 mg transponder. Unclear whether the bees can get a wifi signal. I strongly recommend you read [Chittka’s] book and if you will excuse the pun ‘make your own mind up’. Science and nature writing at its finest and an essential read."—Roy Stewart, British Naturalists' Association A wonderful journey into the fascinating world of bee intelligence and consciousness."— Conservation Biology
