I'd classify bees as "instinctively wise." Tiny brains, yes, but they have a certain amount of pre-programming.
Air-conditioning, antifreeze, desalination, and sonar are all inventions already found first in the animal world (biomimetics). Murmurating birds navigate by stars or the earth's magnetic field. The frail monarch butterfly flying only 7-11 mph manages to migrate 2,000 miles from Canada to Mexico. ?Clearly, there is some sophisticated genetic programming in their modest little brains" - Canadian Geographic Magazine.
"Four things on earth are among the smallest,
But they are instinctively wise:
The ants are not strong creatures,
Yet they prepare their food in the summer.
The rock badgers are not mighty creatures,
Yet they make their house in the crags.
The locusts have no king,
Yet they all go forward in formation.
The gecko lizard clings with its feet,
And it goes into the palace of a king."
- God, at Proverbs 30:24-28
But animals do not make moral choice (a dog chews shoes until trained not to do it). They tend to be responsive, rather than consciously choosing kindness (treated kindly, they respond in a more docile way). A human can be treated unkindly yet still choose to be be kind in return, and that is the power of moral choice.
