    Wish this article did a better job at citing information, would love to know what study provided evidence for sentience and self-awareness. Not that I disagree, I think we vastly underestimate the intelligence and cognitive state of most living creatures, I just want to read about this in more depth.

      Since this article is an adapted excerpt, of the book What a Bee Knows, perhaps one idea would be to download it and check out the bibliography for the relevant citations.

    I never understood these types of articles and discoveries
