Probably call in reinforcements! I think it's safe to assume that the cap wasn't very tight on that bottle, but it's still impressive. So much we underestimate in the animal kingdom.
Rudeness is the weak man's imitation of strength. Eric Hoffer(1902 - 1983)
“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” ~ Gandhi
I wonder if this was accidental- I mean, a one-time only event? Seems highly unlikely they'd have observed & recorded it, if that were the case, so I wonder if bees learn & remember this new skill? I wonder if they've tested them to see if they get better at it or share their skill & teach other bees? I'm sure the aroma of the contents had a lot to do with their motivation too, & maybe thirst also?

Yes, I am not convinced with this one, it could have been chance. Although insects can do facilitating things. More research and duplication of results is needed.
