Bees and many other insects' hearing organs are mechanosensory organs known as Johnston's organs, one of which is located in the basal segments of each antenna, which is known as the pedicel. Each Johnston's organ of the bee contains 48 mechanoreceptor neurons that are tuned to different frequencies of deflection of the antenna. Some are even sensitive to static deflection, which provides the bee's gravitational sense.
