Sheffield and Sussex lead the way
Using a £1 million EPSRC1 funded project Scientists at the Universities of Sheffield and Sussex are embarking on an ambitious project to produce the first accurate computer models of a honey bee brain in a bid to advance our understanding of Artificial Intelligence (AI), and how animals think.

An international research breakthrough with bees offers the possibility that machines might soon be able to see almost as well as humans. French and Australian researchers have shown that honeybees use multiple rules to solve complex visual problems. Dr Adrian Dyer, from RMIT University in Melbourne, said the findings held important implications for our [...]
Scientists seeking to understand the origin of the human mind may want to look to honeybees—not ancestral apes—for at least some of the answers, according to a University of Colorado Boulder (USA) archaeologist.
Research Associate John Hoffecker said there is abundant fossil and archaeological evidence for the evolution of the human mind, including its [...]
CAN BEES REVEAL THE KEY TO HUMAN DEMENTIA? – AND CAN WE GROW YOUNGER??
In some really fascinating research, Norwegian researcher Gro Amdam has succeeded in reversing the aging process in the bee brain—findings which she believes may bring hope to people with dementia.
“No one really believes that the fountain of youth [...]
Researchers have found that tiny brains bees can solve a complex mathematical problem. Bumblebees can find the solution to a complex mathematical problem which keeps computers busy for days.
Scientists at the Royal Holloway College and Queen Mary College, University of London have discovered that bees learn to fly the shortest possible route between [...]
