Bees Exhibit Traits Of Pessimistic People

The study shows that bees are more pessimistic after stress as their behavior suggests that they do not expect to get rewards.

Emotions are complex states and in humans involve a subjective understanding of what you are feeling. We might never know if bees feel something similar, however, what this research can say is that bees have similar responses when they are stressed and make pessimistic choices.

The best explanation for their behavior is that they expect high rewards to be less likely and exhibit traits of pessimistic people.
