Which color can Bees not see?

Answer 1

A bee's colour vision extends well into the ultra-violet part of the spectrum, but not so far as ours into the red end of the spectrum.

Bees can also distinguish plane polarized light, which we can't.

Answer 2

A bee's colour vision extends from roughly the orange part of the spectrum to well into the ultra-violet, so a bee can't see red but they can see ultra-violet which we can't.

It is often said that to a bee a red object looks black, but it really depends on whether the red object (or a black one for that matter) reflects ultra-violet, which would make a difference to the bee.

Answer 3

Where the human colour vision ranges from blue-violet to red, that of the bee ranges from ultra-violet to yellow-orange, so the bee cannot see red. It can, however, see any ultra-violet reflected from a red flower, which we can't see.

Answer 4

Bees can not detect the color green due to their blurred vision. Bees has compound eyes that can only see four colors bluish green, yellow, blue and ultra-violet.

Answer 5

Red
