Bees Vs. Computers

Bees, even with brains that are about as small as a seed of grass are incredibly smart!
It turns out that these tiny brains have beaten computers.
Bees can solve complex mathematical problems that computers have been working on for days.
These insects learn to fly the shortest route between flowers that are randomly placed, and they do it without a mapquest.
Computers solve the problem by comparing the length of all possible routes and choosing the one that is shortest, but bees do this in that teeny tiny brain of theirs. WOW!
Since they have to use a lot of energy flying around all day, it only makes sense that they have to find the shortest route!
Who would have thought the bee would beat the computer?!
