قطعة النحل 🐝

1) The Holy Quran tells us that insects form communities Surat al-
An'am, 38) and that they can communicate more than 1,400 years
afterwards, has accepted that this information is indeed correct.
Now, scientists in the United Kingdom are learning that some of
these amazing creatures may also have feelings and emotions
similar to those of humans.


(2) At Newcastle University, they are trying to discover how some
insects feel. In recent years, honeybee numbers have been declining
worldwide at a disturbing rate. Many explanations have been given
for this. Some say the bees are dying because of disease and
pesticides. Others say it may be due to pollution or microwave
towers. At any rate, this is a very serious situation, for humans as
well as for the bees. At least one-third of the world's crops depend
on bees. Farmers are worried. What about the bees? How do they
feel? Are they scared, sad or depressed?


(3) The researchers trained a group of bees to tell the difference
between two smells. After one smell, they were always given a
sweet sugar reward. After the other smell, they were given a bitter
substance. They quickly learned to choose the smell with the sweet
prize and to stick out their tongues to get it. The scientists wanted
to see what the bees would do if they were put in a stressful
situation. They shook up half of the bees, to make them think they
were in danger. These stressed bees refused to put out their
tongues for new smells, and only chose the old smell which they
knew would be followed by a sweet treat. Even though there was
an equal chance that a strange smell would taste good, it seemed
they believed it would taste bad and were afraid to try it. These
bees had become “pessimists". The other half-the unstressed bees
were much more likely to try tastes from new smells, thus
remaining “optimists”.


(4) When humans are stressed, anxious, worried or depressed, they
have lower levels of the brain hormone serotonin. So did the
stressed bees. This may mean that the feelings of anxious and
stressed bees are similar to those of humans with mood disorders.
This knowledge, along with further investigations into bee behavior and "feelings" can hopefully be used to understand and remedy
their declining numbers, for their sake and for ours.
