Photo submitted by Marie Muñiz, a graduate student studying entomology in the College of Agricultural Sciences. Maria's submitted caption reads: "Did you know that bees are excellent associative learners? Bumble bees, for example, can learn to link other bees visiting flowers with whether those flowers have food or not. What a bee learns through these associations depends on its previous experiences with the environment. Captured in the Pollinator Gardens at the Penn State Arboretum, this photo shows a bee and a butterfly visiting the same flower for food. While it's known that bumble bees can learn from other bees, there are many diverse insects that visit flowers who may also provide valuable information about food! Next time you see bees in a foraging frenzy, know there are methods to their madness!"
