Tharb FaislPosted: The conclusion drawn from the experiment may be influenced by a potential bias towards interpreting the observed behaviours of bumblebees as indicative of consciousness and pain perception. It's crucial to acknowledge that alternative explanations for the observed actions, such as instinctual responses or programmed behaviour's for hive survival, could also contribute to the outcomes. Therefore, the conclusion regarding bumblebees' sentience and conscious experience should be approached with a recognition of the potential bias in attributing human-like qualities to their behaviour.
