A video of two bees working together to lift the top off a bottle of Fanta has surfaced on the internet.

The video is captured in São Paulo, Brazil. It shows the two bees initially positioning themselves on either side of the bottle, later using their legs to push the cap up. After a few seconds, the bees manage to lift the top off the soda bottle as it falls on the ground.

Not sure what Fanta's advertisement budget is, but they better take advantage of this freebie. https://t.co/z7eQRgZ5ri

I'm pretty sure that cap might have to be significantly loosened for this to work. I'll eat my own shorts if they can do that when the cap is closed tight.

If there is two things i have been taught about bees, it is that they shouldn't be able fly and they definitely should not be able to open soda bottles.
