do bees have brains?

Question

i'm always their target it's like they remember me from the last time i can't go one day without being harassed by them.

Answer 1

Yes, bees of course do have brains. They can also remember things. A few suggestions to get them to stop harrising you would be
1. dont eat or drink sweet things out side
2. If you must drink sweet things outside keep them covered.
3. do not use any flower smelling soaps or perfumes.

The above suggestions should help with your problem.

Good luck

Answer 2

Yes of course they do. However they are not like human brains although they do perform normal motor functions tio enable the bee to fly and perform all necessary bodily functions.

In their short two-month lives, worker bees must learn to remember where nectar-producing flowers are located in relation to the hive, and exactly what time of day they produce the sweet liquid. The life-or-death memorization is aided by an amazing change in the bee's brain: as it needs to retain more information, the brain grows, adding tens of thousands of cells on an as-needed basis!

There are theories that bees share a collective intelligence that drives them to complete such tasks as hive building, pollen collecting and protecting the queen.

Answer 3

To understand the complex processes in the human brain that lead to addiction, some researchers at UCSD have turned to bees.

Granted, the brains of humans and bees don't look much alike. But how bees respond to simple rewards, such as food, can tell scientists much about the workings of the primitive portion of our brains that lead some of us to become addicted to tobacco, alcohol or other drugs.

This region of the brain exerts such a powerful influence on the behavior of humans and other animals that a rat will work so tirelessly when it is rewarded with electrical stimulation to this region of the brain that it can forgo eating and ultimately starve to death.

The neurobiology and evolutionary basis of the brain circuitry that processes information about rewards is the focus of study by Terrence Sejnowski, a professor of biology at both the Salk Institute and UCSD. He told a gathering of scientists, high school students and community members last week that neurobiologists like himself are gaining a better understanding of human addiction by examining simpler brains, such as those of bees.

Bees learn to land on a tile of a certain color after they are rewarded just once with sugar water for landing on that color. A single nerve cell in a bee's brain, Sejnowski explains, is responsible for deciding if the information coming from the senses predicts the sugar reward and signaling to the muscles to take the appropriate action to receive the reward.

Answer 4

Yes, although they are not as complex as human brains, they do seem to respond to the coordinated actions of their brain genes. They do not have a conscience and therefore cannot think to the future or "make plans." So, they do not actually target you because of any memory. If you are wearing white, blue, or yellow, they are attracted to such colors. Honey Bees will usually leave people alone, but they are attracted to some soaps, perfumes, and hair sprays. If one comes near you, it is probably confused. Once it realizes you have no nectar, it will leave you alone.

Answer 5

Bees have what its called "Proctasonic". Its basically a brain but the brain doesn't do anything at all. it just sits there because bees dances to communicate.

Answer 6

HaHa lol thats funny but yeah bees do have brains. Maybe its the way you smell to them or your color of clothes that attracts them. Try to wear a diffent set of cloth or a new smell to see if it works.

Answer 7

Yes they have very small pin like brains..

Maybe they target you because you smell so sweet.

Answer 8

Don't wear perfume, or anything with a fragrance (including your shampoo). They won't bother you.

Answer 9

You must smell like a flower?

Answer 10

oh yes but ever tiny ones
