There are 86 billion neurons (神经兀）in humans，brains. Bees only have less than a million. If bees have the ability to learn something difficult to understand like human-made symbolic language, this will open up exciting new paths for future communication between humans and animals.Studies have shown that a number of animals have been able to learn symbols of numbers, including parrots and monkeys. Monkeys were taught Arabic numbers and could order them correctly. An African grey parrot called Alex was able to learn numbers and could do simple calculation.Understanding how tiny brains of bees manage information opens paths to technology， which is good for the future design of computing (计算）systems.8.
