Over on tiktok user @nomadicpancakes has observed a group of #bees that have learned to turn on the sensor on a water bottle filling station by walking over the target.

This is just the kind of thing bees are made to learn, they love targets and need to follow them when dealing with flowers all the time.

The interesting thing is that the bee who hits the target produces water for her sisters, herself less so. But these #eusocial girls seem to have that worked out!

If only that hydration was a major problem to solve for our honeybees unfortunately it is cultivation by beekeepers that has lead to their probable extinction. If only we would leave nature be natural. The biggest error was moving Queen’s and their keepers to different countries along with the killer Varrea Mites.
