How Many Eyes Does A Bee Have? - a photo on Flickriver

            For MACRO MONDAYS, this week’s theme: "Eye". 

A honey bee has FIVE eyes in total. Two large compound eyes and three smaller ocelli or “simple” eyes in the center of their head.

Three simple (or occelli) eyes detect light, but not shapes, and therefore help bees to detect whether they are being approached by predators from above. They form a triangle on the head of a bee.

Two compound eyes, the large eyes, on both sides of a bee’s head are also known as compound eyes. Each of them is made up of a lot of tiny cells (called ommatidea) that piece together an image of what the bee can actually see.
