Stan said: Remarkably, bees can be taught to navigate a maze in only 6
times the length of time that it takes to teach a rat
 
I think that this is being a bit unfair on the poor rat.  Bees have a
remarkable sense  of direction and ability to navigate, far superior to
humans or, I suppose, rats.  Do you have to be able to "Think" to
"Learn"?  I'm not sure.  I do not think that bees have that ability.  I
will agree that bees are remarkable creatures but I think that this is
more to do with the long time they have had to evolve rather than any
sort of intelligence.
