Older honey bees effectively reverse brain aging when they take on nest responsibilities typically handled by much younger bees, scientists at Arizona State University have found. While current research on human age-related dementia focuses on potential new drug treatments, researchers said that these findings suggest that social interventions may be used to slow or treat age-related dementia.

In a study, a team of scientists from ASU and the Norwegian University of Life Sciences, led by Gro Amdam, an associate professor in ASU’s School of Life Sciences, showed that tricking older, foraging bees into doing social tasks inside the nest causes changes in the molecular structure of their brains.

“We knew from previous research that when bees stay in the nest and take care of larvae –the bee babies – they remain mentally competent for as long as we observe them,” said  Amdam.
