Bees and Math

You will be surprised to know (at least I was when I watched a documentary about this) that honeybees incorporate math in their everyday life. This doesn't mean that older bees teach young bees calculus (like 2+2=4); there are natural behaviours and patterns to these amazing insects which seem to indicate that there is a certain logic, a mathematical logic according to some researchers, to everything they do. And, apparently, this mathematical training is passed on via the honeybees' genetic codes.
Clever little workers, aren’t they?
