267:, Avarguès-Weber has focused on bees since 2007. The results of her research have implications for both computer science and facial recognition. Amongst other things, her lab has shown that bees are capable of numerical cognition and mathematical abstraction: they can add and subtract, and they recognise the concept of zero. She has also shown that bees can recognise face-like patterns. She is currently developing a virtual reality system to test more complex abilities of bees.
