The bees were split into two groups. For the first one, a short flash was the “dot” in Morse code, and it was associated with sugar. A longer flash, or a “dash” was associated with a bitter substance ...

A study finds that bumblebees can tell long and short light flashes apart, revealing a surprising timing skill in these tiny ...

Bumblebees can learn to understand a simple kind of Morse code and differentiate between long and short light flashes, according to a new study. Researchers have shown for the first time that the ...

In a first-of-its-kind study, scientists found that bumblebees can tell the difference between short and long light flashes, much like recognizing Morse code. The insects learned which signal led to a ...

Researchers at Queen Mary University of London have shown for the first time that an insect – the bumblebee Bombus terrestris – can decide where to forage for food based on different durations of ...

Bees are not supposed to read code. Yet a new wave of experiments suggests that honeybees can track dot‑and‑dash style light ...

A new study is the first to show that an insect can decide where to forage for food based on different durations of visual cues. In Morse code, a short duration flash or "dot" denotes a letter "E" and ...
