## Resource

Bees might feel pleasure and pain—new research shows they lick their lips for sweet tastes and shake their heads for bitter ones, hinting at emotions. Scientists in Australia and China found these reactions aren’t reflexes but signs of inner experience, even shifting based on stress—like how a sports drink tastes better after a workout. This challenges the old view of insects as simple machines, revealing a richer, more complex inner life. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
