Apparently, their aptitude for math is even more impressive than initially believed. A new study has revealed honey bees can tell the difference between odd and even numbers , a concept more than ...

Katie has a PhD in maths, specializing in the intersection of dynamical systems and number theory. Zero is a weird number. Well, not weird as in “abundant but not semiperfect” – let’s just ...

Weird But True: Honeybees Can Learn the Difference Between Even and Odd Numbers They’re the first non-humans to exhibit this ability, indicating that you don’t need a brain cortex to do it.

Even numbers are always 0, 2, or 4 more than a multiple of 6, while odd numbers are always 1, 3, or 5 more than a multiple of 6. Well, one of those three possibilities for odd numbers causes an issue.

An even number is a number that can be shared equally into 2 groups. For example, these 6 apples can be split into two equal groups of 3 apples. An odd number cannot be shared equally into 2 groups.

By teaching other animal species to discriminate between odd and even numbers, and perform other abstract mathematics, we can learn more about how maths and abstract thought emerged in humans.
