Abstract
  • Bees, like humans, have three types of photoreceptors in their compound eyes that allow them to see color. Bees see ultraviolet (UV) light, blue light, and green light, whereas most humans see red, blue, and green. We developed a methodology1 to simulate bee vision that can be used to photograph flowers in natural light. We used a full-spectrum adapted camera and specialized filters to capture the blue-green portion of the visible light spectrum, in addition to UV light. Simulating bee vision allows us to glimpse floral colors invisible to humans and to compare bee-visible patterns across flowers.
  • In cooperation with 10-Minute University, and funded by the Clackamas County Master Gardener Association, these briefs will help you translate research findings into sustainable gardening practices.
