Summary

Howard, Avargues-Weber, Garcia, Greentree, and Dyer (Science Advances, 5,1–6, 2019) report experiments in which honeybees initially shown a number of shapes could subsequently choose a pattern that added or subtracted one from that number. Further, the operations of addition and subtraction were cued by the colors of the shapes.
