Bees can see higher frequencies of electromagnetic waves than humans can. Bees see flowers in different colors then we do. Bees see color about triple the speed as humans do.

Does bees have the sames eyesight as humans?

no, they have coptic eyes, which means they see vision, better, and slower then we do!


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!


Do honey bees make hives in the ground?

No, honey bees typically make hives above ground in structures like trees, caves, or man-made beehives. Ground-dwelling bees like mining bees or sweat bees may create nests underground, but honey bees do not.


How long can a bee hold it's breath?

Only slightly longer than a ladybug I caught about 20 bees in my pool net. I put the net under water and could see them crawling around inside the net. After no longer than 60 seconds they were all dead. A bee can hold its breath underwater for about 60 seconds.


Are bees color blind?

Bees have the ability to distinguish colors, they have a trichromatic color vision, so bees can see the three primary colours of UV, blue and green (they can't see red though) in the way that humans detect red, blue and green. When bees go off to collect nectar, they are attracted to colours of flowers which act as signals for them about the type of flower colours that provide more or less nectar. They will favour certain colours over others, this means that if they have found yellow flowers to provide more nectar they're more likely to visit yellow flowers. There have been many experiements carried out that prove that bees can see colour and many have trained bees successfully to favour certain colour over others. you should read about the work carried out by Von Frisch early 20th century which prove this, and many that followed after that.

Bees see flower patterns in what wavelength that humans cannot see?

Bees have ultraviolet vision that humans do not possess. This allows bees to see patterns in flowers for better identification.


What attracts bees to dandelions?

Bees can see UV light. (ultra violet light), that we, humans can't see. So, actually any flower attracts bees.


What is unique about the way bees see?

Bees can see ultraviolet colors that humans cannot see. This allows them to identify flowers that may have a lot of nectar.


What attracts bees to dandelion flowers?

Bees can see UV light. (ultra violet light), that we, humans can't see. So, actually any flower attracts bees.


What is the color that humans can't see but bees can?

Very dark red


What kind of electromagnetic radiation can honeybees see but humans cannot?

Ultraviolet light can be seen by bees, but not humans. Bees also cannot distinguish red from black.

Why does nectar from flowers attract bees?

New evidence shows that bees see the world in a higher-frequency prism of light than humans & the flowers seem to "light up" as if under a black light for them. If you could see what they see, you would understand their excitability around the flowers & their ability to move directly toward the flowers from a great distance.


What are the animals that indicate air pollution?

Bees and other insects can see pollution, unlike us humans.


Can you see ultraviolet light?

No, humans cannot see ultraviolet light as our eyes are not sensitive to that wavelength. Some animals, such as bees and birds, have the ability to see in the ultraviolet spectrum.

Do bees se color?

Yes, bees can see color, but their color vision differs from that of humans. They are particularly sensitive to ultraviolet light, which allows them to see patterns on flowers that are invisible to us. Bees can perceive colors in the blue and green spectrum, but they cannot see red. This unique vision helps them identify and locate flowers more effectively for foraging.
