The "scientific mind" adjusts to too many variables by forming a hypothesis
of the stimulus-response kind. Once a stimulus is found linking a "wet hive
condition" to "rapidly building winter stores", the scientific mind stops the
search for other explanations. The human is then satisfied that further
evidence has been found for his original hypothesis of another S-R pairing
and a solution to his original question has been found. A bridge to
understanding what bees could be thinking can not be constructed with such a
model.
