The new research further suggests bees are highly sophisticated problem solvers, and that better understanding of their brains could improve our understanding of network problems like traffic flows, supply chains and epidemiology
I wonder if they could create an analog to those systems (our reality) that could be used by a bees, then just let the bees try to figure it out.
That is, instead of trying to create an analog of the bee's mind to apply to our reality.

Bees figure out a lot of complex things
Flight of the Bumblebee
What was shown was that a certain simple mathematical model wasn't adequate or appropriate for describing the flight of a bumblebee. Insect flight and wing movements can be quite complicated. Wings aren't rigid. They bend and twist. Stroke angles change. New, improved models take that into account.
