How far can any bee see?

Answer 1

You can't directly compare a bee's vision with your own because they are different. A bee has a compound eye which does not form finely detailed images. What a bee sees is more of a mosaic. One advantage of this is the bee is very sensitive to movement and can separate distinct events of around 1/300 second, wheras our persistence of vision means we can only separate events of more than 1/50 second apart.

A bee's color vision is also different. They see well into the ultra-violet part of the spectrum, which is invisible to us, but they are not so sensitive at the red end of the spectrum, so to them deep red is black.

They are also sensitive to plane polarized light and use this to locate the sun even when the sky is completely overcast with cloud. This is important to them because they use the sun for navigation.
