I always thought that apes are very intelligent, they can even learn sign language!
I always thought that insects have almost no intelligence, that they are just simple mindless drones.
Apes can learn to use sign language, but only individual symbols and words, no syntax. They never ask questions (which might imply that they do not understand that other minds can know things they do not).
Bees can learn new behaviors (e.g. they can recognize images of human faces), they can even learn new behaviors by watching other bees do a task.
Bees are not as mindless as I thought.
I wonder what does it feel like to be a bee.
