Two individually marked bumble bees are shown in a tunnel used for affective contagion experiments.
Bees that briefly interacted with conspecifics in a positive affective state in this tunnel later showed more optimistic responses to ambiguous flowers.
The discovery shows that even insects can share affective states, tracing the roots of affect and social cognition deep into evolution.

you've heard many a tall tale about the intellectual prowess of the humble crowbert... but did you also know that crowberts are natural-born crafters?
just look! using little more than a crafting table, a cloth scrap, and a few loose threads, this crowbert fashioned herself a lovely winter vest!
though frugal, it increases her environmental resistance by three points, and her damage resistance by two! not to mention that lovely blue dye... where did crowbert get that from...?
just kidding, we already know. just some blue no. 1 that crowbert thieved from a local snack manufacturing plant. don't look at me, i didn't encourage it. but i have to say it really suits her. makes me wish i had a little crow-vest of my own.
