Yeah, I'm pretty sure humans never really struggled with the idea of Nothing or None. From what I can tell, the "discovery of zero" refers to treating it philosophically as a number, developing a specific symbol for it, and using that symbol in positional number systems, which are all things that bees likely do not do.
