Can you solve the honeybee riddle? - Dan Finkel

--

You’re a biologist on a mission to keep the rare honeybee Apis Trifecta from going extinct. The last 60 bees of the species are in your terrarium. You’ve already constructed wire frames of the appropriate size and shape. Now you need to turn them into working beehives by filling every hex with wax. Can you help the bees create producing hives? Dan Finkel shows how.

Lesson by Dan Finkel, directed by Charlotte Arene.

Me having watched the solution: "Could've solved it if I tried..."

[josiahsilva]

I’m starting to BEElieve that the animators are highly trained. They might even BEEhave like professionals.

[eliotlong]

Whenever there's a new Ted Ed riddle, I go through my house yelling "There's a new Ted Ed riddle" acting as if anyone cares, ask for silence, and sit back and relax to the video.

I always wondered what was inside those bottles in cabinets. Didn't realize they were bees.

[Catticus]

This video is so satisfying to watch. Props to the animator.

Me: hmmm let me try



My brain: 👁️👄👁️

[juniormint]

The answer? No, I cannot. Nor will I ever be able to, to any of Ted-Ed’s splendid riddles.

[galaxygirl]

How are those Ted-Ed animators so GOOD? If I could animate like that, I would be jumping in joy everywhere I went.

[mithalsurya]

Yay riddles
