Are there similar experiments where animals exhibit the behavior they expected? Specifically "that the bees would see a blank paper as something irrelevant that was completely different than what they had been trained on." It would make this research much more interesting, because it sounds like zero is just a concept that is included with mathematical abilities, albeit with a little more conceptual difficulty.
