ever feel like you’re just a mindless
worker slaving away day in and out just
to keep a roof over your head
welcome to watchmojo.com down the five
most intriguing facts about your
friendly neighborhood bee bees but not
those super badass Africanized ones
number five bees can reverse age their
brains ever feel like old age has
suddenly crept up on you researchers
think that bees may hold the key to
reversing the inevitable effects that
aging has on the brain generally old
bees forage for food while young bees
take care of the larva however when
scientists stripped old bees into doing
the work of young bees they found
something interesting after just a week
of performing the more gregarious
activity of caring for baby bees the
older bees showed a dramatic change in
their brain chemistry not only did they
increase their ability to learn new
things but proteins were found in their
brains that are known to combat dementia
in humans while any medication from
these findings is in the distant future
at best researchers suggest simply
taking part in more social activities
may give our brains a jump start towards
rejuvenation to the bee will Beall you
mean your Chevy yes number four bee
venom is joining the fight against AIDS
in 2013 scientists at the Washington
University School of Medicine in st.
Louis designed a way to attack HIV cells
using a powerful toxin present in bee
venom the toxin Milutin is loaded onto
nanoparticles and has proven effective
at fighting a range of viruses such as
HIV and even tumors the secret is its
size the nanoparticles are so small that
they bounce right off of normal healthy
cells conversely when they come into
contact with a virus which are much
smaller than the particles themselves
they poke holes into the protective
envelopes around the virus this enables
the body’s own immune system to fight it
off researchers are hopeful this could
lead to a preventive AIDS vaccine
as well as a treatment for current AIDS
patients number three caffeine makes
great worker bees cocaine makes great
liar bees most college students have
pulled their fair share of
caffeine-fueled all-nighters but they
aren’t the only ones
studies show that caffeine actually
improves the memory of bees this is an
advanced adaptation by plants which
encourages pollinators such as bees and
butterflies to make return visits this
provides the insects with food and the
plants with a way to distribute their
pollen it’s a win-win on the other hand
cocaine may provide the illusion of
doing a great job but don’t be fooled
when provided with cocaine bees
experienced a very familiar High effect
it excited them to the point of what you
might call lying when dancing to inform
other bees of a food source their
movements became exaggerated and the
quality of the food was overstated
[Music]
number two bees might be smarter than
you I’m not a smart man though Abby’s
brain is only about the size of a grass
feed they’re able to accomplish some
pretty amazing things while the dance
the bees use to communicate may not look
like much it’s actually the most
complicated use of language by an animal
outside of the primate family
we’ll see who brings in more honey their
bee boogie is able to relay specific
detailed information about the location
and quality of food the language is so
complex that Karl von Frisch won a Nobel
Prize in 1973 just for deciphering it
in addition bees can easily solve a math
problem that stumps people and some
computers the so called Traveling
Salesman problem involves finding the
shortest possible route between a large
number of locations and bees are
Naturals at it no matter what order
flowers are found in bees always know
the shortest way to get to all of them
number one it takes a lot to make honey
honey for a hive to survive over the
winter it needs to have anywhere between
twenty and ninety pounds of honey
depending on its size the climate and
other factors that may seem like a lot
but during the busy summer months a hive
may be home to up to 60,000 bees they
need that many bees because the typical
honeybee will create only 1/12 of a tea
movin in their entire lifetime that’s
less than half a milliliter each to
produce a 12 ounce bottle of honey it
would take 288 bees working full-time
all the way until they die so the next
time they drizzle honey over something
reflect on all the hard work and
sacrifice that went into making it I
just in case you’re wondering honey is
made from flower nectar the bees eat
regurgitate eat and repeat enjoy your
peanut butter and bee vomit sandwich huh
I feel we have made a terrible mistake
so does that revelation change your
opinion about honey for more beautiful
