Bees can distinguish between humans faces.

It's common knowledge that bees will flock to folks who have given them sugary foods in the past. (What, you didn't know that?) What was left to figure out was how the flying insects knew how to recognize their benefactors. Do they see human faces like we do, or are they tipped off by another cue?

Working with different drawings of faces, researchers at France's University of Toulouse were able to establish that, in fact, bees do recognize and distinguish between human facial features. Scientists think the bee's tiny brain might be able to offer a starting point for the development of better facial recognition software.

What is for certain is that this finding confirms you should take it personally when a bee invades your space -- and swat accordingly.
