The British seem to be on a forefront of bee research; even grade school children are publishing scientific papers! This is borderline embarrassing at first, but if you read through the article you will see that it is a great exercise. These kids, under the direction of their teacher set up experiments and tested bumble bees for their colour pattern and spatial abilities. Their research seems interesting; take a look at the article to see the way that they carried out their different coloured light experiments. They determined that the bees can apply what they learned and visit the digital flowers even after they are rearranged.
I am glad that the kids got to do this study with bees and learn how to do scientific reasoning and testing.
