Reply to comment by 100LittleButterflies in New study reveals that bumblebees will roll wooden balls for seemingly no other reason than fun, becoming the first insect known to 'play' by karmagheden
There was one time where they were studying if you could train bees to do things. Bee Soccer was the thing I first thought of when I saw this.
The cool thing is that if they’re playing, that means they’re not mindless drones going about their day. I always figured insects in particular were just doing what their nature told them to do, like how butterflies have a “genetic memory” so strong that migratory butterflies go around a mountain that doesn’t exist anymore (due to mining/construction)
