Bees have five eyes. There are three simple eyes, called ocelli, in a triangle on the top of the head. These really only detect the difference between light and dark: they do not form an image.
Bees also have two compound eyes each side of the head. These form a mosaic-like image. Bees do not see fine detail, but their eyes are very sensitive to movement.
Their colour vision is also different from ours. It extends well into the ultra-violet part of the spectrum, but not so far into the red end of the spectrum. They are also sensitive to plane polarized light, which they use for navigation.
