Yes, I did a double take at the end, too. The narrator says of a newly
hatched bee that it is likely "destined to be a humble" house bee, but "if
kept just 1.5 degrees higher " during incubation (presumably C), "it may
instead turn into an intelligent and high-ranking forager" (it actually
sounds like the narrator says "foreigner," but it's either a sound glitch or
a script reading glitch no one caught).

Really? Is this new research? Speculation?
