do they know that something divided by zero is infinity?

that aside, it would come in handy to be aware that there is zero other bees or honey. What other insects understand zero?

Something divided by zero in all mathematical spaces you encounter commonly will be undefined, not infinity.

did it used to be infinity at some point or a middle school watered down version? because in school, a boy once asked me "Do you know what something divided by zero is?" I asked what? and he dramatically announced "The answer is infinity!"

Something divided by zero is not infinity - this is easy to check, because you can add as many 0s as you want and you will never get any closer to the original number.

What you get when you divide anything by 0 is not (un) defined.
