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.
