大黄蜂能通过观察学习解谜

Scientists here in Britain have found that bumblebees learn to solve puzzles by watching their more experienced peers.

英国科学家发现，大黄蜂能够通过观察经验更丰富的黄蜂来学习解谜。

The researchers said their study showed that the insects were intelligent, and that not only instinct but also social learning play a large role in societies of bees, ants and wasps.

研究人员表示，他们的研究表明，这些昆虫很聪明，而且不光是本能，还有社会学习在蜜蜂、蚂蚁和黄蜂的群落中发挥着重要的作用。

The experts devised a puzzle box that could be opened using either a blue tab or a red tab to access a sugar reward inside.

专家们设计了一个益智盒子，可以用蓝色或红色标签打开，就能获得里面的奖励--糖。

They trained groups of so called demonstrator bumblebees to open the box using one of the two methods watched by a set of observer bees.

他们训练了一群所谓的展示组大黄蜂，用其中一种方法去打开盒子，同时让观察组的大黄蜂看着。

When the observers tackled the task, 98 % of the time, they used the method they had witnessed, even after discovering the alternative option.

轮到观察组的大黄蜂完成任务时，98%的时间，它们用的都是亲眼见过的方法，即便它们已经发现了其他办法。

The bees therefore learned this behavior socially, not through discovery.

因此，大黄蜂是通过社交而不是发现学会的这项技能。

The scientists' broader conclusion is that innovations can spread like social media means through insect colonies, and they can respond quickly to new environmental challenges.
