S8 E9: Exploring the Mind of a Bee
A bee’s brain is tiny, but its one million neurons make shockingly complex connections. Individual bee and bumblebee intelligence is phenomenal, from spatial memory to communication. And would you believe that bees are likely also capable of play? Two leading researchers paint a compelling picture of just how much we’ve underestimated the individual sentience of bees. The stereotype of the bee as a robot fully dependent on the hive is far from accurate. We explore fascinating bee research involving harmonic radar, machine learning, and AI-in an effort to see the world through the eyes of a bee.
Guests:
Lars Chittka, professor of Sensory and Behavioral Ecology at Queen Mary University of London and author of "The Mind of a Bee"

    Emotions on Insects: I suppose it depends slightly on your definition of these emotions. But I have always said yes, absolutely, any create that DOES ACTIONs feels the emotions that drive them to do those actions. What makes a bee hunt for pollen? the same reason I enjoy sweets. I enjoy sweets, the bee enjoys pollen. These are necessary traits for life. Desire, avoidance... Even the lowly single celled organism 'feels' what is wants, and what it dislikes when it bumps into other things. It feels 'pain' and recoils away, it feel pleasure and consumes when it finds something it 'likes'. A virus, which is arguably not life, 'feels' that it has reached a suitable host, or 'feels' that something is not suitable. These are positive/negative driving forces, that we call emotion. playing, and learning are more complex emotions for sure. Pleasure and Pain are the core necessities though.

    The bee sees those thousands of images as 1. They are sort of like pixels and they combine to form one image.

    This is something I think of often: how tiny things like fleas and ants, and even tinier things like mites, all have internal systems for digestion, let alone other functions! Also, when I first heard about nematodes (in junior high), I thought it was spelled nematoads, and they were super tiny toads. 😂

    I don’t think I have a religion, I believe in my own interpretation of god and everything. I don’t believe he’s a perfect man, and I don’t believe he’s a bad man, I believe he’s like us, makes mistakes, understands. Everyone says suicide is straight to hell, my buddy committed 2 years ago and I believe he talked with the big man and god understood him, I believe he’s with his dad. That makes my life easier. You lose nothing if you believe in god and there is no god, then if you don’t believe in god and their is one. Idc what religion is right or wrong, I care what god will do for me and those I care for and such. Idk if it makes sense or not, but I don’t choose to make my life revolve around a god, and I don’t live in sin like there isnt one.
