German zoologist Randolf Menzel says bees aren’t as busy as people believe they are. “Bees are not particularly  51 . Instead they sleep a lot and are lazy. They spend  52  80 per cent of the night sleeping. Even during the day they often fly to the nest  53  they rest their wings,” said Menzel, a zoologist at the Free University in Berlin, who has studied bees for four decades. But to  54  for their apparent laziness, they are actually very intelligent. They are  55   learners and able to recognize various smells.

Menzel said bees’ learning, like  56  of many animals, was based on a reward system. “If a bee is rewarded once for something, it remembers it for a week. But if it is rewarded three times, it will remember it for its  57  lifetime,” said Menzel. He last week was awarded a  58   
by the German Zoological Society.

The memory capacity of bees means they can  59  among more than 50 different smells to find the one they want. “What is interesting is that what smells good to a bee, is also a  60    
smell for humans,” said Menzel.
