Pretty wild how bees basically invented a biochemical preservation system thousands of years before we had food science labs

Millions of years!

The fact that they navigate by memorising visual landmarks like trees, buildings, and flowers to recognise familiar routes is unbelievable

Amazing what well trained small neural networks can achieve.

Associative learning

I think the most interesting thing about them is that they can communicate the location of flowers to other bees.
