Honeybees rely heavily on flower patterns—not just colors—when searching for food, new research shows. A team led by the University of Exeter tested bee behavior and built bee's-eye-view simulations ...

Like many other insect pollinators, bees find their way around by using a polarization sensitive area in their eyes to 'see' skylight polarization patterns. However, while other insects are known to ...

Dec. 19 (UPI) --Heat plays an important role in flower-pollinator interactions. According to new research, heat patterns serve as signatures for flowers, advertising their availability to passing bees ...

Unlike human vision, which prioritizes high resolution and fine detail, honeybee vision is low resolution but highly specialized for detecting the visual signals that matter most for survival—flowers.

Bumblebees can tell flowers apart by identifying their invisible scent patterns. (AAP) Bees can identify different flowers by the invisible patterns of scent across their surface. New research led by ...

A new Monash University-led study has resolved debate over whether honeybees truly count or merely react to visual cues. By designing experiments that match bees’ sensory perception, researchers ...

New research has revealed that bumblebees can tell flowers apart by patterns of scent. New research led by scientists from the University of Bristol and Queen Mary University of London has revealed ...

Bees don't perceive color the same way that we do. Find out the flower color to avoid if you want to attract bees, and which ...

Bees use their ability to 'see' polarized light when foraging for food, researchers have discovered. This is the first time bees have been found to use this ability for something other than navigation ...
