A new study has found that Asian giant honeybees can see colors even in low light conditions. This ability is surprising as most animals, including humans, struggle to see colors in dim light. The study suggests that certain moths and carpenter bees also have adaptations for seeing in the dark. Understanding how bees see colors at night is important for their interaction with flowers during nighttime pollination. Bees’ ability to see in the dark may have evolved due to competition for resources and the need to avoid predators.Bees have now developed night vision!
