DESCRIPTION:Insect cognition and responses to external stimuli depends on 
 their internal state. Adapting techniques from psychology and animal welfa
 re\, research on bees has demonstrated that stress-induced states leads to
  pessimistic cognitive biases in bees. I will be presenting our research d
 emonstrating these biases with suggestions for possible mechanisms. I will
  then proceed to discuss ongoing work characterizing these states and thei
 r effect on a range of cognitive behaviours\, including behavioural flexib
 ility\, colour preference and spatial vision. Finally\, I will discuss the
 se results and other work in the context of current debates on insect sent
 ience and welfare.
