Honey bees perform better at a maths task with the right training

Nice little piece here, https://www.abc.net.au/news/science/2019-10-13/bees-numerical-cognition-maths-brains/11590430, based on the original research here, https://jeb.biologists.org/content/222/19/jeb205658

To save you the trouble, the original piece is titled "Surpassing the subitizing threshold: appetitive–aversive conditioning improves discrimination of numerosities in honeybees."

You gotta hand it to the authors, they sure know how to grab attention.
