the ultimate hard workers was inaccurate. "Although we see bees buzzing
around tirelessly in spring and summer, the common belief in a bee’s busy

they’re out flying, or they look at a colony of bees and see thousands of them
buzzing around. They don’t get to pick them out as individuals. The professor,
who this month won a German Zoological Society award for his work on bees, added
that bees compensated for their apparent laziness with high intelligence,
advanced memory skills and an ability to learn quickly. The suggestion that bees were not pulling their weight met with skepticism from British beekeepers.
