Sometimes things are not what they seem. We know that dolphins smiling are being aggressive for example.
> "Bumblebees play because we humans think that they play"
Or maybe they are just brain-wired to explore any strange object and instinctively clean any movable peeble, fruit, and object in the path of the entry of the colony. Cleaning the colony is a very common behavior reported in bees
"We observed the pleasure centers in the brain activated in a scanner" is not the same as "we think that the pleasure centers in the brain activate because the bumblebee seems happy". One is an objective claim, the other subjective (and looks like designed to sell animism 2.0 and happy feelings).
Subjective and tainted by the positive image that we had from bumblebees. Try to sell "happy spiders play football with fly heads" for example and everybody will conclude that spiders are the worst
