It is common for a smell or a sound to trigger a vivid recollection of an associated event in the past, even if it involves a different sensory modality and the episode occurred a long time ago,. The human brain displays impressive cross-modal associative recall. Here we investigate whether this capacity extends to insects. We find that trained honeybees can recall a specific colour when they encounter a particular scent.
