The short answer is: nothing.
The slightly longer answer is: Insect eyes are completely different from our own eyes. Ours is rather like a camera, with one lens and a retina (film) at the back. Insects have compound eyes with thousands of lenses, each with their own tiny retina. Each lens points in a slightly different direction and covers a very narrow field of view. Because of this what the insect sees is rather like a mosaic. Overall, an insect's eye is not as good as ours at seeing fine detail, but they are very sensitive to movement in the visual field.
If you see a photograph of a young bee you may see hairs between the lenses, but these don't affect the bee's vision.
