Honeybees are able to distinguish and remember human faces using their tiny brains.
Despite having brains the size of a sesame seed, honeybees can process complex visual information. Scientists trained bees to associate images of faces with rewards, and the bees consistently recognized them after training. This ability likely stems from how bees recognize flowers, which vary in shapes and patterns. It's a cute reminder that big smarts don't always need a big brain! Who knew bees could be tiny face-recognition pros?
