虽然在科学文献中已经研究了许多脊椎动物物种的数字能力，但很少有令人信服的无脊椎动物的数字能力。蜜蜂，意大利蜜蜂，凭借其其他令人印象深刻的认知能力，是这种性质的研究的主要候选人。因此，我们使用了成熟的延迟匹配样本的范例，测试蜜蜂的能力，以匹配两个视觉模式的基础上，在两个模式中的元素的共享数量的限制。使用Y型迷宫，我们发现蜜蜂不仅可以区分包含两个和三个元素的模式，而且可以使用这种先验知识区分三个和四个，而无需任何额外的训练。然而，接受过二对三任务训练的蜜蜂无法区分更高的数字，例如四对五，四对六，或者五对六。对照实验证实，蜜蜂并没有使用线索，如视觉元素的确切配置的颜色，元素的组合面积或边缘长度，或由元素形成的虚幻轮廓。据我们所知，这是第一份关于无脊椎动物基于数字的视觉概括的报告。
Although the numerical abilities of many vertebrate species have been investigated in the scientific literature, there are few convincing accounts of invertebrate numerical competence. Honeybees, Apis mellifera, by virtue of their other impressive cognitive feats, are a prime candidate for investigations of this nature. We therefore used the well-established delayed match-to-sample paradigm, to test the limits of honeybees' ability to match two visual patterns solely on the basis of the shared number of elements in the two patterns. Using a y-maze, we found that bees can not only differentiate between patterns containing two and three elements, but can also use this prior knowledge to differentiate three from four, without any additional training. However, bees trained on the two versus three task could not distinguish between higher numbers, such as four versus five, four versus six, or five versus six. Control experiments confirmed that the bees were not using cues such as the colour of the exact configuration of the visual elements, the combined area or edge length of the elements, or illusory contours formed by the elements. To our knowledge, this is the first report of number-based visual generalisation by an invertebrate.
