Research reveals honeybees use the same face-reading strategy as humans
BY THE OPTIMIST DAILY EDITORIAL TEAM The human brain contains approximately 86 billion neurons. A honeybee brain contains roughly one million, packed into about one cubic millimeter. That brain, it turns out, can learn to tell human faces apart. The research goes back more than two decades. Across multiple studies, honeybees have been trained to recognize individual faces from photographs, identify the target face among similar distractors with 80 to 90 percent accuracy, and hold that recognitio
