0:00.0 | Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in. |
0:05.8 | Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years. |
0:11.0 | Yachtold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program. |
0:20.1 | To learn more about Yachtolt, visit yawcult.co.j.p. |
0:23.9 | That's y-A-K-U-L-T-C-O-J-P. |
0:28.4 | When it comes to a guide for your gut, count on YacLT. |
0:35.1 | This is Scientific Americans' 60-second Science. I'm Karen Hopkins. |
0:39.5 | They say it's darkest before the dawn, and that's just the way that sweat bees like it. |
0:48.9 | These tropical insects, which live on an island in the middle of the Panama Canal, visit |
0:53.8 | night blooming flowers under cover of darkness. |
0:57.0 | And a new study shows that the shapes made by gaps in the rainforest canopy |
1:01.0 | help them find their way home. |
1:03.0 | The work appears in the journal, Current Biology. |
1:06.0 | Even though most bees are active in bright daylight, |

1:14.9 | Eric Warrant, a professor of zoology at the University of Lund in Sweden. |
1:19.3 | This is particularly true of the warmer parts of the world, such as a steamy rainforests |
1:24.2 | of Panama. |
1:25.4 | Warrant and his colleagues have been studying these night flyers, called |
1:28.6 | Megaloptergenalis, for more than 20 years. We have discovered that, like all bees, |
1:34.2 | megalopter is able to learn visual landmarks around the nest and presumably also along the foraging |
1:39.9 | route. They use these landmarks to find their way through the vast forest and to recognize their nests. |
