[单项选择]According to new research of Prof. Randolf Menzel from the Free University in Berlin, the popular image of bees as the ultimate hard workers was inaccurate. "Although we see bees buzzing around tirelessly in spring and summer, the common belief in a bee’s busy nature is based on a misconception," he said. People only really see bees when they’re out flying, or they look at a colony of bees and see thousands of them buzzing around. They don’t get to pick them out as individuals. The professor, who this month won a German Zoological Society award for his work on bees, added that bees compensated for their apparent laziness with high intelligence, advanced memory skills and an ability to learn quickly.
The suggestion that bees were not pulling their weight met with skepticism from British beekeepers. Glyn Davies, the President of the British Beekeepers Association, said that bees were not lazy but efficient. "At any particular stage in its life, a bee has a specific job to do. If the

German zoologist Randolf Menzel says bees aren’t as busy as people believe they are. "Bees are not par ticularly (31) . Instead they sleep a lot and are lazy. They spend (32) 80 per cent of the night sleeping. Even during the day they often fly to the nest (33) they rest their wings," said Menzel, a zoologist at the Free University in Berlin, who has studied bees for four decades. But to (34) for their apparent laziness, they are actually very intelligent. They are (35) learners and able to recognize various smells.
Menzel said bees’ learning, like (36) of many animals, was based on a reward system. "If a bee is re warded once for something, it remembers it for a week. But if it is rewarded three times, it will remember it for its (37) lifetime," said Menzel. He was awarded a (38) by the German Zoological Society.
