This is just the kind of thing bees are made to learn, they love targets and need to follow them when dealing with flowers all the time.
The interesting thing is that the bee who hits the target produces water for her sisters, herself less so. But these #eusocial girls seem to have that worked out!

Sometimes you get to tend your own #colony of #RedHarvesterAnt, and a few years later a bunch of reproductively active #alates might emerge to start new colonies elsewhere!
