Great #video about #learningbehavior in #hymenopterans, so it's about clever insects. #Intelligence isn't limited to specific animal groups. The kind of intelligence that provides an #evolutionaryadvantage can occur in a wide variety of taxa, for example, in #bumblebees. Using a species of the genus #Bombus (apparently B. hypnorum), the video illustrates the speed of learning in the #queen, who #learns to operate an artificial, flap-like #closure at her #nestentrance.
