Stressed Bees Lose Their Buzz

On most sunny days, the sight of bees buzzing around flowers brightens our day. They fly around with a certain zest, full of purpose.

But what if these hardworking bees can feel the weight of the world like we do?

Scientists at Newcastle University have discovered that bees, just like us humans, exhibit emotion-like responses to stressful events.

What does this mean? Well, the research findings tell us that when stressed, bees lower their expectations of rewards, which eventually influences how they approach pollination.
