"Our research group wanted to test the behavioral limits of bumblebees by tasking them with something far removed from anything they encounter in nature.

"So we’ve managed to show that bees can play football. Sort of. We showed that they can learn to move a small ball to a goal to gain a sugary reward."

You thought it was about something else, didn't you? :)
"I shall now begin to speak of purple, which exceeds all the colors that have so far been mentioned both in costliness and in the superiority of its delightful effect." -- Vitruvius, De architectura, 1st century BC.
