I mean, it's pretty hard to tell what's going on inside any other creature's brain, from dogs to bees to humans. It's generally easier the closer they are to yourself, so it's easier with dogs than with bees. I think you are shortchanging bees a bit, based on your description of a dog building a logical model of the world, I would say bees definitely qualify. >A dog, on the other hand, can build logical models of the world, and then take actions based on that. It can that begging from one person results in treats, while begging from another results in discipline. It can update this logic and behavior based on new information. Bees are capable of a lot of interesting and complex behavior, from learning to communication with other bees.[1] It's been theorized that they can play around just for fun, which is hard to reconcile with them behaving on entirely pre-programmed instincts.[2] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bee_learning_and_communication https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bee_learning_and_communication [2] https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/bees-can-play-study-shows-bumblebees-insect-intelligence https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/bees-can-...
