Which type of waves can bees see that humans cannot

1 answer

Bees can see ultraviolet (UV) light, which is a type of electromagnetic wave that is beyond the visible spectrum for humans. While humans can see light in the range of approximately 400 to 700 nanometers (the visible spectrum), bees can see wavelengths as short as about 300 nanometers. This ability to perceive UV light helps bees locate flowers and navigate their environment, as many flowers reflect UV light, making them appear more attractive to pollinators.
