An astonishing movie in which two bees work together to remove the cap of a plastic bottle
Bees not only collect honey that humans like, but also play an important role in maintaining the ecosystem through various types of pollen. Such bees are also known to have extremely high intelligence, and the newly released 'movie in which two bees work together to remove the cap of a PET bottle' is attracting attention from many people. I will.
'Unbelievable' Video Shows Two Bees Work Together to Unscrew a Soda Bottle
You can see how the two bees actually remove the cap of the PET bottle in the following movie.

What you see on the screen is a Fanta PET bottle with contents. If you look closely, you can see that there are small bees on both sides of the cap.
The two bees are moving their legs little by little, with their heads slipping between the cap and the body.
The cap seems to be quite loose, and each time the bee moves, the cap turns little by little ...
Finally the cap came off.
The photographer is laughing at unexpected events.
It seems that this video was taken in Sao Paulo, Brazil, and it happened when he was drinking Fanta during the lunch break. Science Alert, a science media outlet, pointed out that the video could be a CG-created fake, or it could just have accidentally dropped a cap that was already loose. But, 'in any case, it's fun to think about whether a bee has enough brains to pull off a soda robber,' he said, stepping into the topic of bee intelligence.
It may be unbelievable that the small bee brain does this much work, but researchers believe that brain size is not always proportional to intelligence. In this regard, Science Alert pointed out that 'small animals need a smaller brain because the body itself, which is controlled by brain cells, is small,' and 'the complexity of neuronal connections, not the size of the brain, is the cognitive ability. and important 'for the
Karl von Frisch, who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his research on honeybee communication methods in the 20th century and deciphering the meaning of 'honeybee dance, ' was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1962. At that point, 'I had the view that the bee's brain was too small, so the original nature was due to instinct. Since then, I can learn how much cognitive ability the bee's brain has and things. It is said that research on whether or not it has been carried out.
As a result, even though the honeybee brain weighs only about 0.0002% of humans, it ' connects the concept of numbers with symbols ', ' understands the concept of zero ', and ' uses animal droppings as a tool to protect the nest. It is known that it has a high level of cognitive ability such as 'I can do it.'
The act of 'uncapping a plastic bottle' is clearly not necessary in nature, so if the bees did this intentionally, they would have learned a new behavior acquiredly. Become. This is contrary to von Frisch's position that 'the ability of bees to perform complex tasks is instinctively imprinted.'
Of course, the bees may have just accidentally removed the cap, but in a 2017
ScienceAlert said, 'Even if the neuronal circuit is small, bees may be much more capable than we thought. The next time we have lunch outdoors, pay attention to drinks. I recommend it. '
