 We all know bee’s are intelligent, but do bee’s know Math’s?  The answer is yes… Bees can count up to four. It has also been scientifically proven. In an experiment it is declared that bee’s can distinguish between patterns which has 2 and 3 dots. Bees can learn to differentiate between 3 and 4 dots, but bee’s can’t go ahead and find out the difference between 4 dots and 5 dots and so on… and it has also noted that bee’s are not using colors and smell to find their way to the sweet hidden in the beehive. The research was done by Shaowu Zhang, who is a chief investigator and by Hans Gross and Juergen Tautz, professors at the Wurzburg University in Germany.
