      Their vision is way more complicated than that. They have two different modes, one for range, the other for resolution. And it’s been proven that they can’t use them both at the same time. A bee might look at a flower and then repeat the examination with the other vision mode to get the details.

      Note that I’m just paraphrasing what I remember reading recently and may not be completely accurate. The point is that their vision is super cool and you should all read The Mind of a Bee by Lars Chittka, because it’s such a great book even if you don’t particularly care about bees. You will after reading it.

      They can count! And solve tasks developed for chimpanzees! And take drugs! All while being super cute.
