What's it like to be a bee? 🐝 Cognitive researcher and
#NatGeoExplorer Felicity Muth is working to get into the mind of a bee, to understand the full extent of their intelligence.
Her latest research reveals that bees, much like humans, have decision-making biases and preferences. From Muth’s perspective, “by understanding bees, we can also better understand other animals, including humans.”
Muth’s work is funded by the National Geographic Society and Templeton World Charity Foundation as part of the Wildlife Intelligence Project — an initiative that supports investigations related to animal intelligence inspired by Dr. Jane Goodall and the Templeton Prize.
