I wonder if this is perhaps, evidence of pleasure in bees. A way to tie rudimentary pleasure center's in our genetic ancsetors to more complex emotions in humans. I agree with lovehamster.

The whole tongue in cheek response to this type of knowledge creation shines a bright light on a serious lack of intellect(geez). One incredibly important aspect of this research is showing that these biochemical reward pathways have been preserved from some earlier multicellular progenitor, and whilst this may be known, intuitively or otherwise by knowledgable observers, it's definitely still an unknown by a rampant majority. I'd like to see these guys start mainlining peruvian flake into a bunch of ameobas and see what happens, that could potentially be terribly interesting. Kudos. Actually it’s an excellent experiment.

These scientists must be getting bored of playing with honeybees all day. I mean, I know we all enjoy harassing and messing with people while they're high, but this takes the idea to a very different level. "Their performance absolutely crashed." Haha, classic.
