Couldn't they have just learned to go for more white space? He acts like black is inherently something and white is just blank, but I doubt a bee would see things that way. Furthermore, I heard people tried to teach (a) bear(s) to count, but bears would keep picking the box with the larger dots that take up more space rather than the one with the more dots (which was actually the rule), so I would assume that unless I am misremembering things (or that was just a really stupid bear and/or scientist), the bee would also just be learning to pick the square with more white space or blue space.

As a bit of a communication nerd, I got real excited about how bees perceive/express distance. They measure distance by how much change they see in the ground. They share distance by wiggling their butt for a period of time. That's the same medium! The same units! They're directly stimulating the same sense they use to measure in the first place. That's, well not _clever_ since they aren't thinking about it, but it's efficient!

From a mathematical perspective, there are no spheres nor circles in nature. But flowers often are circular in shape. I wonder if the bee is mistaking the ball for a flower. When a bee lands on a flower, it crawls around to gather pollen and nectar. Then the bee just tries to crawl around the ball thinking that it’s a flower and inadvertently causing it to roll…. Just my weird mind thinking….

Wow! Never knew you could train bees. I’m allergic to honey bees, but still love watching them. Every spring a bumblebee always comes, hovers in front of me like a hello and then next year a bumblebee comes. Don’t know if it’s the same. But they all know that every year my mint flowers and they can do what bees do. So maybe the bumblebees that come and hover in front of me is their form of thanks. It’s been happening for 21 years but only with the bumblebees. The honey bees just do their flower thing. No hovering in front of me looking at me. Now I had a clan of wasps taking up residents in my front hedge bush. But only the left one. They sent two to attack me when I had to trim it. Then they learned they weren’t chased out so I can clip when they’re around and they wait until I’m gone and I’m not stung. They can be trained, conditioned, whatever. It’s just amazing that they have that capacity. And they let me watch them do their things with my mint flowers. I bet this May I’ll have a bumblebee visitor hovering in front of me as a greeting before flying away.

As a teacher, I feel like Ze Frank is the sort of level you might never achieve but should always strive towards. Also... I'm not entirely convinced that every nominally adult, competent human could figure out all of those shape-and-math-riddles.

This immediately made me feel happier. Thank you!

I remember learning that people learn and retain information better when the lessons are entertaining and funny. So when some people say putting comedy or puns/jokes in a lecture is informal or distracting and will be deleterious to students' learning, just know it actually helps to make the lesson more flavorful and have greater impact, as opposed to it being bland and forgettable.

Taking AP psychology back in 2002, we learned this. People learn more and retain information better when they're having fun. And yet so many teachers and parents still can't figure out why kids know everything about Fortnite but can't retain the information they read in their dry, boring textbook.

Back in the 2000s, I was doing tech support for a major ISP. We were being trained on supporting a specific internet device. The class was threatening to be very dull, but then someone asked "Where did we get these devices?" and the instructor came right back with "Dave the purchasing guy says he got them from a dude that was selling them out of the trunk of a white Thunderbird" and suddenly we were all paying attention because that was HILARIOUS. Similarly, someone else asked "What do you think the odds are that users will access the help files for troubleshooting?" and the instructor replied "Are you asking if I believe in fairies?" It says something that I still remember THAT about 20 years later, doesn't it? :D (And yes, I COULD still troubleshoot the device in question if I had to...or if it still existed)

I think the quality of the jokes matter a lot though. I had a Government teacher in High School who used tons of the worst imaginable puns, and I only remember how much I hated going to those classes because of the puns. Where as I had an English teacher who had really funny quips, and I remember quite a lot about his class.

I love how agresssively angry the "bees can count?!" bit sounds. Ze Frank at his finest.

"They can do math, and you probably only knew about their spelling." Gold 😂

Thank You ZeFrank, this is so good!

The one out of a hundred or so bees that can figure it out is a strong implication that there are in fact bee geniuses. This is mindblowing to me.

"So why are you telling us about a shoe? Is there a flower in the shoe or something?" "Well, no, but there's some drips from ice cream on one of the laces--" "Yeah, you can just keep that one to yourself."

Zefrank, you are one of my favorite creators. You have done so much to educate and entertain! Much love.

Love this video! I learned before though that bees do the waggle dance primarily because they are indicating a food source to other workers, not always a location for a swarm.

Bees being taught to roll a ball into a goal for a little drop of sugar water is the most wholesome fucking experiment I have ever heard of and I LOVE IT

Can't imagine how you manage to come up with such hilarious and educational content so quickly. It's amazingly well made. Well done.

Fascinating!! Awesome video!

I found a bumble bee that was dying on my porch. I brought him in and put him in a safe box and fed him sugar water to try and save him. He would climb on my hand. So sweet. He unfortunately died but I was able to give him comfort and compassion during his last few days. We actually felt so sad when he died because in those few short days we became attached to him. I love bees. My mom is a bee keeper and I hope to start my first hive this summer. 😊

“It looks like they bought into the metric system. Bullshit.” 😂

About 6 months ago, one black wasp came and scouted out my kitchen then flew away. Now, for the past 6 months I keep getting a bunch of black wasps that fly right to the same corner of my kitchen, even though I'm pretty sure I kill most of them. So that means that this corner is part of their cultural knowledge or something. I don't know how long those wasps live for, but I like to imagine an old lady wasp scout just telling everyone she knows all about how awesome my kitchen is.

I could be wrong, but those black wasps sound like some that I had decide to nest the door of my 80's Mercedes when I hadn't taken it out for a few days. Knowing nothing about them and fearing everything, we zapped them with spray. Then we found out they were harmless and good pollinators. Sorry guys......

I remember reading the smell of mint is offputting for wasps. If there's a place you don't want them to nest in, dab some mint extract or oil around there. I did that once when they were trying to build a nest near my bat house.

@@erinmac4750 yeah I have another little colony of harmless pollinators living under my drain pipe outside, and we get along just fine. I wouldn't be killing these particular wasps so ruthlessly if they were harmless (and also I don't need wasps flying in and out of my kitchen all day), especially since I have students coming in my house all day and we don't need that stress 😂

I have great LOVE for bees. After graduating from College and wanting to be in the wide open spaces, I went to visit a friend who was a beekeeper in South Dakota. He taught me much about bees, in the a few months I worked with him. I respect these creatures. They are more than devoted than us to a good cause, part of the WHOLE of this planet.

Another fun and educational video! Thanks Ze Frank.

The shape of the bee dance is also a 2d projection of like a 6 dimensional shape that is only ever seen in solutions in quantum mechanics. It's pretty freaking fascinating. The person who discovered it was a mathematician who decided to spend a semester studying bees at her university.

Each hive is in reality an individual, but since we only experience 3 physical dimensions we can only see a cross section of the creature. What we see as several bees, is just what the hive is projecting onto our plane.

@@michaelsenn68 it’s only very distantly related, but there’s a book series where an advanced race uses ant colonies as computers. Since they can be trained to follow chemical commands and do certain things contingent on other factors, the author turns a bunch of ants into a series of logic gates. The first book in the series is called “Children of Time”. Heartily recommend.

I'm allergic to bees so I learned a great deal about their behaviors to avoid being stung and to not have to kill their hives. I have not been stung since the 1980s. And yet I still learned something new (as usual) from Zefrank's video. One of the best teachers on the internet. I think I would have actually enjoyed school if he had been my teacher.
