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.

What is one difference between male bees and female bees?

The male's eyes are so much larger because they need to find a potential queen in flight. Second, males are slightly larger than a female worker bee. Third, look very closely at the segmented portion of the bee's antennae.


How many eyes have tuatara explain?

Tuatara have two eyes, like most reptiles, but they also possess a unique third "parietal eye," located on the top of their head. This third eye is not used for seeing in the traditional sense but is thought to help regulate circadian rhythms and detect light. The parietal eye is covered by scales and is more of a sensory organ than a fully developed eye. Thus, while tuatara have two functional eyes, their third eye adds an interesting aspect to their anatomy.


How many wings do normal bees have?

Bees and almost all winged insects have four wings. Sometimes the first wing has evolved into a hard protective shell, as in the beetles. Bees can fly for miles looking for flowers, but always find their way back to their hive. They do a "dance" to communicate to other bees and show them how to fly in order to find the right flowers.
