Bees on cocaine: they dance more (this is real)
January 16th, 2009
OK so they gave some cocaine to bees to study the behavioral effect, on a biochemical level. It makes them “exaggeratedly enthusiastic about things that would not normally excite them.” Apparently when honeybees find a whole bunch of nectar they do a dance. Not every time they find food, only when it’s a big mama load. But the bees on coke got excited and danced way too much, every time.
You need to read this article over at the New York Times…
For the record, I’ve never done drugs in my life. I don’t find it cool!!!
