Unlike human vision, which prioritizes high resolution and fine detail, honeybee vision is low resolution but highly specialized for detecting the visual signals that matter most for survival—flowers.

Researchers identify two distinct gene transcripts of a single gene that could regulate color patterns in Saintpaulia flowers The researchers hypothesized that the white-striped petal pattern was due ...

Honeybees rely heavily on flower patterns – not just colours – when searching for food, new research shows. A team led by the University of Exeter tested bee behaviour and built bee's-eye-view ...

Chinese scientists have revealed the mechanisms underlying the formation of complex color patterns on Nigella orientalis (Ranunculaceae) petals. This was reported by The Xinhua News Agency.

Flowers use colours, some of them invisible to human eyes, to attract bees in order to spread their pollen. But experts have long wondered why they don't use iridescence seen in other parts of nature.

Flowers have lots of different patterns on their surfaces that help to guide bees and other pollinators towards the flower’s nectar, speeding up pollination. These patterns include visual signals like ...
