Given tiny size, we normally consider bees to possess little intelligence. But according to a new study, this little insect has the capacity to do basic mathematics like human beings! A team of scientists at the French National Centre For Scientific Research did the study, reports Independent Online.

To carry out the research, scientists first gave training to a group of bees to recognize colors as symbols for either addition or subtraction. In the study led by Dr. Scarlett Howard, the researchers found that the bees were able to do addition and subtraction judged based on their color recognition.
