Bees have two types of eyes. The big, noticeable eyes enable bees to see in all directions and detect movement, helping them locate flowers and navigate. Smaller eyes in the center of its head detect light intensity and aid in positioning during flight. Bee eyes are crucial for their foraging and survival.
Antennae
