Couldn't they have just learned to go for more white space? He acts like black is inherently something and white is just blank, but I doubt a bee would see things that way. Furthermore, I heard people tried to teach (a) bear(s) to count, but bears would keep picking the box with the larger dots that take up more space rather than the one with the more dots (which was actually the rule), so I would assume that unless I am misremembering things (or that was just a really stupid bear and/or scientist), the bee would also just be learning to pick the square with more white space or blue space.

As a bit of a communication nerd, I got real excited about how bees perceive/express distance. They measure distance by how much change they see in the ground. They share distance by wiggling their butt for a period of time. That's the same medium! The same units! They're directly stimulating the same sense they use to measure in the first place. That's, well not _clever_ since they aren't thinking about it, but it's efficient!

From a mathematical perspective, there are no spheres nor circles in nature. But flowers often are circular in shape. I wonder if the bee is mistaking the ball for a flower. When a bee lands on a flower, it crawls around to gather pollen and nectar. Then the bee just tries to crawl around the ball thinking that it’s a flower and inadvertently causing it to roll…. Just my weird mind thinking….

In some regions this extends to telling the bees about other major events in the beekeeper's life, such as marriage and birth.

Wow! Never knew you could train bees. I’m allergic to honey bees, but still love watching them. Every spring a bumblebee always comes, hovers in front of me like a hello and then next year a bumblebee comes. Don’t know if it’s the same. But they all know that every year my mint flowers and they can do what bees do. So maybe the bumblebees that come and hover in front of me is their form of thanks. It’s been happening for 21 years but only with the bumblebees. The honey bees just do their flower thing. No hovering in front of me looking at me. Now I had a clan of wasps taking up residents in my front hedge bush. But only the left one. They sent two to attack me when I had to trim it. Then they learned they weren’t chased out so I can clip when they’re around and they wait until I’m gone and I’m not stung. They can be trained, conditioned, whatever. It’s just amazing that they have that capacity. And they let me watch them do their things with my mint flowers. I bet this May I’ll have a bumblebee visitor hovering in front of me as a greeting before flying away.

A couple weeks ago I picked up a very sluggish bumble, brought it inside, put it in an open container with some pretty flowers, gave it some sugar water and put it in the sun to warm up and get his mojo back. He strengthened up and flew away eventually but as he did he gave me this look. Like he was thankful but kind of bummed. I didn’t realize what it was until now. I didn’t give him any balls to play with. I will never make that mistake again. There’s nothing worse than a bummed bumble. 😢

I've heard that honey bees associate dark / black hair with bears, so that could be one thing. Also depends on the time of year too. When I worked at an apiary, I could relax close to the hives with my veil off during my breaks and be fine early in the season. They got more defensive as the nectar flow started, and eventually they'd constantly bump me for daring to exist near them towards the end of the season

So when some people say putting comedy or puns/jokes in a lecture is informal or distracting and will be deleterious to students' learning, just know it actually helps to make the lesson more flavorful and have greater impact, as opposed to it being bland and forgettable.

Back in the 2000s, I was doing tech support for a major ISP. We were being trained on supporting a specific internet device. The class was threatening to be very dull, but then someone asked "Where did we get these devices?" and the instructor came right back with "Dave the purchasing guy says he got them from a dude that was selling them out of the trunk of a white Thunderbird" and suddenly we were all paying attention because that was HILARIOUS. Similarly, someone else asked "What do you think the odds are that users will access the help files for troubleshooting?" and the instructor replied "Are you asking if I believe in fairies?" It says something that I still remember THAT about 20 years later, doesn't it? :D (And yes, I COULD still troubleshoot the device in question if I had to...or if it still existed)
