The more you learn about anything, the more you know!
The more you know, the more you understand that thing you learned about. But more importantly what you know about shapes how you understand the world around you. And there is nothing more well-rounded than an understanding of science.
Be it animal, mineral, or vegetable, from the complex to the seemingly obvious, from quantum to galactic in scale, from cutting-edge innovations to the most ancient of mysteries.
Science has you covered.
There is no better way to get an understanding of science than learning what science is happening now, which happens to be the theme of…
This Week in Science!

RE: Bees play. Did the researchers account for the fact the Bumbles may think they have found an unattended nest and are trying to organise it? See here for example of a nest https://www.bumblebeeconservation.org/bumblebee-nests/
