| Description |
English: Bees Learn to Drive Very Small Cars. [April Fools' Day]
Scientists capitalized on recent revelations that bees are a lot smarter than previously thought. In addition to being able to count and solve simple puzzles USGS scientists at the Patuxent Native Bee Lab have taught bees to driver miniaturized automobiles. Using rewards such as flower smoothies and honey laced with addictive pollens, bees were gradually induced to drive in order to continue receiving their rewards. The study came to an unfortunate ending when one of the lab assistants was overwhelmed by angry bees who felt that the researchers were holding back on their pollen loads. Future plans are in the work to use less coercive methods and talks are in progress with several bee advocacy groups. For release on April 1, 2019. Photography by Brooke Goggins. Français : Les abeilles apprennent à conduire de très petites voitures. [Poisson d'avril] Les scientifiques ont tiré parti des récentes révélations selon lesquelles les abeilles sont beaucoup plus intelligentes qu'on ne le pensait. En plus d'être capables de compter et de résoudre des énigmes simples, les scientifiques de l'USGS au Patuxent Native Bee Lab ont appris aux abeilles à conduire des automobiles miniaturisées. En utilisant des récompenses telles que de la purée de fleurs ou du miel mélangé à des pollens addictifs, les abeilles ont été progressivement amenées à diriger des voitures à leur taille afin de continuer à recevoir leurs récompenses. L'étude a connu une fin malheureuse lorsque l'un des assistants de laboratoire a été submergé par des abeilles en colère, qui estimaient que les chercheurs ne leur donnaient pas assez de pollen. De nouveaux plans vont être imaginés en utilisant des méthodes moins coercitives. Des pourparlers sont en cours avec plusieurs groupes de défense des abeilles. Sortie prévue le 1er avril 2019.
