Bees have five eyes. There are three simple eyes, called ocelli, in a triangle on the top of the head. These really only detect the difference between light and dark: they do not form an image.
Bees also have two compound eyes each side of the head. These form a mosaic-like image. Bees do not see fine detail, but their eyes are very sensitive to movement.
Their colour vision is also different from ours. It extends well into the ultra-violet part of the spectrum, but not so far into the red end of the spectrum. They are also sensitive to plane polarized light, which they use for navigation.
Bees have five eyes in total. They have two large compound eyes on the sides of their head, which are made up of many smaller units called ommatidia. In addition, bees have three smaller simple eyes on the top of their head called ocelli.
Killer bees, also known as Africanized honey bees, have five eyes. They have three small simple eyes on top of their head and two large compound eyes on the sides.
Yes.
Bees have five eyes to help them navigate and orient themselves in their environment. The two large compound eyes help them see movement and detect light intensity, while the small three ocelli eyes on top of their head help them navigate using the sun's position. Having multiple eyes assists bees in efficiently foraging for food and avoiding predators.
No, bees are not blind. They have relatively simple eyes that can detect light, shapes, and colors. Bees can see ultraviolet light, which is important for finding nectar in flowers.

"B". Bees have 5 eyes.
Through their eyes.
Yes.
Compound eyes are used for shapes and colors
Bees don't have eyelids, so their eyes can never be closed.
no but they have five eyes
Bees only have 2 eyes which are split into separate segments. This is called compound eyes and allow the bee to see in several directions. Compound eyes allow the bee to find food, protect itself, and meet the other needs it requires for survival.
Spider, Fly probably Bees
2 compound, 3 simple-5 total.
Bees have two large compound eyes made up of many smaller lenses called ommatidia, allowing them to see ultraviolet light as well as colors in the visible spectrum. They have good color vision and can see polarized light patterns in the sky to navigate. Bees also have a small number of simple eyes on top of their heads called ocelli, which help them detect changes in light intensity.
Bees have five eyes. They have two large compound eyes on the sides of their head that are made up of many tiny hexagonal lenses, as well as three smaller simple eyes on the top of their head that detect light intensity.
