It sounds like you could train 2 teams of bees to score goals in different colored nets and give them 1 ball to see a game of bee-soccer

I like how everyone’s love of bees only gets more justified over time. They’re important to the environment, cute, and smart. Such lovely animals.

I just find it so cute and hilarious that bees will stop whatever they're doing to play with balls. And it's honestly impressive what smart, fast learners they are for an insect.

As a bit of a communication nerd, I got real excited about how bees perceive/express distance. They measure distance by how much change they see in the ground. They share distance by wiggling their butt for a period of time. That's the same medium! The same units! They're directly stimulating the same sense they use to measure in the first place. That's, well not clever since they aren't thinking about it, but it's efficient!

My brother helps run a bee research lab at Princeton, and I recommended that he should collaborate with you about a bee vid a couple years ago. I just sent him this link to rub it in his face that he missed his chance do work with the great Ze Frank. My failure as a nobody compared to him is so much sweeter now.

And the waggle dance also accounts for the *movement of the sun*, with its angle shifting appropriately as time passes. Freakin' amazing. Great episode!

I really like that the shoutouts and citations at the end tell you what each person contributed instead of just a "Special thanks to [insert long list of names here]". Super helpful, makes it super easy for me to look at who contributed what and go check out their stuff!
