A study has found that, like humans, sick bees find it a lot harder to find the motivation to do daily tasks. It was also discovered that the bees can have memory trouble when ill; particularly dangerous for an insect that lives on it's memory to find the right plants and navigate a large area. This discovery could have very important implications for the effects of the infections found amongst bees in recent months, since it may be a major contributing factor in their decline.
