No. Honey bees have five eyes: two compound eyes and three simple eyes, called ocelli, in a triangle on top of the head which are probably only sensitive to levels of light.

The compound eyes give the bees colour vision, but they can see well into the ultra-violet part of the spectrum, but not so far as us into the red part. They are also sensitive to plane-polarized light which means they can determine the direction of the sun even with complete cloud cover: very important for navigation.
