BEES IZ CLEVER BUZZERS
A news item about bees caught my eye today. Apparently, they're better at route-finding than their brains entitle them to be.

Recalling the poem about how they're not meant to be able to fly either, it occurred to me that
The bumblebee is oddly wrought
Cybernetically it ought
Not know the way
Since bumblebees don't have PCs.
But they with inbred, innate ease
Go not astray.
