Learning complex stimuli with a honey bee brain: contrasting consequences on performance and flight behaviour from degrading configural versus featural information

2026-05-04

Abstract excerpt

<title>Abstract</title> <p> Honeybees ( <italic>Apis mellifera</italic> ) impress with their visual learning abilities despite their miniature brains and relatively coarse vision. A striking demonstration of bee cognition shows that they can rapidly learn to discriminate human faces, despite these stimuli being ecologically irrelevant. To probe the mechanisms underlying this ability, we assessed bees’ capacity...
