When you think of an octopus, you might picture it swimming alone, however scientists think these animals could be more social than we thought. A new study has found that octopuses sometimes team up with groups of fish in order to hunt together.

Meanwhile, bees play a critical role in agriculture, helping to pollinate some 35 percent of the world’s food crops.

All to discuss with Dr Ruth Freeman Director, Research Ireland.

All with thanks to AIB Ireland.
