According to research published in in the journal Science on Thursday, humans aren’t the only creatures who get a good buzz from caffeine. It turns out that plants produce caffeine-laced nectar to attract honeybees and keep the insects keep coming back for more. By using a psychoactive drug, organisms rooted to the ground are able to influence the behavior of their moving partners. Not only does this new information shed some light on how plants and pollinators have co-evolved, but on the similarities between brain chemistry across the animal kingdom.
i need a coffee …
So plants are essentially the bee’s drug dealer.

“I am fundamentally an optimist. Whether that comes from nature or nurture, I cannot say. Part of being optimistic is keeping one’s head pointed toward the sun, one’s feet moving forward. There were many dark moments when my faith in humanity was sorely tested, but I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lay defeat and death.”~Nelson Mandela from Long Walk to Freedom
