The salt-grain size neuropile (brain) of the familiar western honey bee, Apis, mellifera,' houses 960,000 neurons and a staggering number -- 10 to the power of 9 -- of neural synapses. we, the brainy, naked apes, have 85 billion neurons to our credit, with synapses totaling 10 to the power of 25. sound like a lot, but remember that they are houses within a brain that is 1.2 million times larger than that of our flower-visiting honey bee. ~ Page 23 (Excerpt : THE REASON OF FLOWERS"
