Potential new subsection

I read this article that explains experiments on bees to determine if they have the ability to feel pleasure and pain, experience optimism, engage in playful behavior, and endure unpleasant situations if the reward is sufficient. Do you think there should be some content on this, for example as a subsection of "Sociality"? Alenoach (talk) 19:34, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
