Of bees, newton's law and the nature of intelligence

I saw a bee today inside the bus on the way to work. It was desperately trying to run away from the "monster" chasing it, nothing but the back wall of the bus. Now the question that arose in my mind was, why did the bee not slip right down to the floor of the bus? Does it not realise it need not run away from anything then? (of course some dumb-ass might step right on it but in the physicist bee's world, buses are full of vacuum :) )
This led me to the question that if the bumble bee realised this aspect of survival, does it mean that it has learnt Newton's laws? It is fascinating to think if one can do this bee in the bus experiment in a controlled environment to "teach" them Newton's law. This opens doors to many questions including whether there are clever bees, dumb ones etc. This can throw more light on to a often quoted (or mis-quoted) "herd" behaviour amongst smaller animals. Finally, the article about teaching Newton's law for robots which led me to this line of thinking:
