Those damn dirty bees! A new study shows that bees have move advanced learning capabilities than other animals.
In a new study, researchers report that bumblebees were able to figure out the most efficient routes among several computer-controlled "flowers," quickly solving a complex problem that even stumps supercomputers.

That headline is incorrect.
The bees only had to solve the problem with 4 flowers.
A supercomputers can solve that problem before the bee has flapped its wings once. Supercomputers get bogged down when the problem involves thousands of stops. There is no evidence that bees find the optimum solution in real world situations.
Still, bees are amazing creatures. I love to watch them work.
