Bugs Aren’t Brainless! | Storytime: Charles Henry Turner

The video explores the relationship between bees and flowers, focusing on how bees collect nectar and aid in pollination. It highlights bees' navigation skills and introduces Dr. Charles Henry Turner, a pioneering scientist who studied bees' color vision despite facing racial discrimination. Turner's experiments demonstrated that bees can learn and remember, challenging previous scientific beliefs. The video encourages viewers to conduct their own experiments inspired by Turner's work.
