Season 1 Episode 3: About Bees, Culture & Curiosity Podcast - Do Bees Feel Pain?
We often expect to be on the receiving end of pain - whether from a broken elbow or from the tail-end of a bee. But what about bees? Do small creatures feel pain? Is it just a matter of defining pain in a way that we can claim bees feel no pain - or that they do, indeed feel pain? Or is the sensation of feeling pain so complicated that it defies a definition? Do bees simply react without actually 'feeling' anything? Or are they as anguished as humans when they suffer injuries?
We explore this question with McGill neuroscience student Daniel Miksha so we can better understand this issue and so we can begin to recognize our potential responsibilities respecting the ethical treatment of bees. Let's go!
