Bees understand the concept of zero

Praesepe Star, M44 Beehive Cluster

Bees seem to grasp the numerical concept of zero - the first invertebrate we have found that can do so. When the insects were encouraged to fly towards a platform carrying fewer shapes than another one, they apparently recognised "no shapes" as a smaller numerical value than "some shapes". Zero is not an easy concept to comprehend, even for us. Young children learn the number zero later than other numbers, and often have trouble deciding whether it is less than or more than 1. To see whether honeybees are able to understand zero, Scarlett Howard at RMIT University in Melbourne and her colleagues first trained bees to differentiate between two numbers. Howard shared the findings at the Behaviour conference in Estoril, Portugal, last week.

The 2017 Behaviour conference  was  held from July 30 to August 4, 2017, in Estoril, Portugal. This coincides with Uranus station retrograde on August 3. Among other things, Uranus rules creative genius and brilliant mental insight. Moreover at 28 Aries it is conjunct stars in the head of King Cepheus known for his intelligence.  At Estoril, Portugal the Uranus station takes place on the MC just as Mars and the Sun rise on the Ascendant.

What is a Paran?

Paranatellonta are stars or star groups that fall upon angles at the same time that a significant constellation or planet is also upon the angles. In modern astrology the term Paran (short for Paranatellonta) is generally used to describe stars or planets that are angular as a planet hits the ascendant, MC, Descendant or IC. http://www.skyscript.co.uk/gl/paran.html

Rising with Mars on the Ascendant are the stars of  Cancer. In itself Cancer is not a brilliant constellation, however, at its heart is a lovely star cluster, a mysterious glow M44 (NGC 2632) or epsilon (ε), a cluster of stars better known by the name the "Beehive Cluster", or the Latin equivalent, Praesepe, Praesaepe, which not only means a "hive" but also a "Manger", or "Crib".  This nebula has been linked to events connected with bees. So is it at all surprising that with brilliant Uranus on the MC and bees on the Ascendant, we have discovered the genius of bees!
