Bees can recognize human faces

Shahzad Mahota Published By Shahzad Mahota @shahzad-mahota

Bees can recognize human faces

Lab work shows honeybees can learn to tell face-like patterns apart — a surprising skill for a brain the size of a sesame seed.

They treat faces as configural shapes, not as “people,” yet the discrimination holds across trials.

Cognition does not need a big skull. A forager’s tiny computer still sorts who looks like who.
