Scientists in Australia have discovered bees have a remarkable ability to distinguish different types of paintings.



The experiments, carried out at the University of Queensland, showed the bees could pick a Monet over a Picasso.



The aim of the research is to discover more about how bees search for food and help us understand how humans learn.



Duncan Kennedy reports from Sydney.

Next step: training them to find forgeries.
