How many eyes do honey bees have?

Five. A bee has three simple eyes, called ocelli, in a triangle on the top of its head (slightly forward of the top in a drone). These are very simple eyes, little more than light receptors, and do not form an image. On each side of its head the bee has a compound eye and these are its main organs of vision.


What is a bees third eye for?

A bee doesn't have three eyes, it has five! It has two compound eyes, which are its organs of vision, and on the top of its head (slightly forward of the top in a drone) are three simple eyes, called ocelli, which are set out in a triangle. The ocelli don't form images, they are simply light receptors. Although their purpose is not fully understood, it is thought they help the bee to orient itself when flying.
