Bees can see ultraviolet (UV) light, which is outside the visible spectrum for humans. This ability allows them to detect patterns on flowers that are invisible to us, helping them identify which flowers are rich in nectar. Their vision is adapted to see a range of wavelengths from approximately 300 to 650 nanometers, enabling them to navigate and forage effectively. This UV sensitivity plays a crucial role in their pollination activities.

What type of electromagnetic radiation do you think bees can see that humans cannot?

Well, we can 'see' the air, but bees have short, fuzzy hairs that help them sense it even better. Sort-of like a fly. Have you ever tried to smash one fly? Here's what happens: You sneak up a few feet near it. Then you get closer and closer... WHOOSH! The fly sensed your delicate movement! Same thing with a bee. A bee or any related arachnid/insect could even know you're there if you're behind it!
