The Mind of the Honeybee

The Mind of the Honeybee

The honey bee has evolved as the consummate generalist pollinator, and has become perhaps the most important insect pollinator of our food crops. Here I will talk about how honey bees think, and how we know how they think. I discuss how their thought processes influence their flower visits, and how bees’ long coevolution with flowers has shaped a bee type of intelligence.

Professor Andrew Barron from Macquarie University presented his work in an online seminar on Tuesday, 15 Jun 2021. Watch again this seminar in the video below:
