Most of us are aware of the power of bees as an amazing collective, but they are also uniquely intelligent as individuals. This book takes readers deep into the sensory world of bees, showing how they are profoundly smart, have distinct personalities, can recognize flowers and human faces, exhibit basic emotions, use simple tools, solve problems, and learn by observing others. Lars Chittka draws from decades of research, including his own pioneering work, to illustrate how bee brains are unparalleled in the animal kingdom in terms of how much sophisticated material is packed into their tiny nervous systems. The Mind of a Bee reveals how the sensory experiences of bees rival those of humans-and how these extraordinary insects may even possess consciousness.
