<p style="text-align: left;">The book's title is Honeybees Can Count. This story is about zero, which is a tricky number. Scientists in Australia test counting skills of the bees. They put some sugar water under the card with the fewest symbols. Over time, the bees learned to recognize the card with the smallest number. The scientists repeated the test with a different pair of cards. Incredibly, the bees flew to the blank card more often. Humans have large brains, with about 86 billion neurons. But B brains have fewer than one million neurons. So, these tiny insects can understand the number zero.</p>

This story is about zero, which is a tricky number. Scientists in Australia tested (test) the counting skills of the bees. They put some sugar water under the card with the fewest symbols. Over time, the bees learned to recognize the card with the smallest number. The scientists repeated the test with a different pair of cards. Incredibly, the bees flew to the blank card more often. Humans have large brains, with about 86 billion neurons. But bees (B) have brains with fewer than one million neurons.
