How does solar system influence the orientation in roaming and migratory animals?

Who control the birds when they fly south?
The control of migration, its timing and response are genetically controlled and appear to be a primitive trait that is present even in non-migratory species of birds. The ability to navigate and orient themselves during migration is a much more complex phenomenon that may include both endogenous programs as well as learning.

Eyes on a bee?
A bee has five eyes: two compound eyes on the sides of the head and three tiny simple eyes, called ocelli, on top of the head. The ocelli do not form images but respond to changes of brightness more quickly than the compound eyes. It is thought they are used by the bee to orient itself as it pitches and rolls in flight.
