While the idea of getting stung isn't exactly appealing, a new study may have you thinking twice before swatting away any pesky bees.
Researchers from Queen Mary University of London have revealed that bumblebees can feel pain.
'If insects can feel pain, humans have an ethical obligation not to cause them unnecessary suffering,' said Matilda Gibbons, first author of the study.
'But the UK's animal welfare laws don't protect insects - our study shows that perhaps they should.' https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-11053185/Bumblebees-feel-pain-included-animal-welfare-laws-study-claims.html
I wonder if there's ever been a study on babies and pain. You know what I mean, right? The one's in the womb
