Scientists just discovered bees and hummingbirds are drinking alcohol
🤖AI Özeti
Recent research has revealed that flower nectar contains small amounts of alcohol, which means that pollinators such as hummingbirds consume it throughout the day. Remarkably, despite ingesting amounts comparable to what humans might consume, these birds exhibit no signs of intoxication. This finding suggests an unexpected evolutionary adaptation that allows these creatures to tolerate alcohol effectively.
