Exploring the World Through Bee Eyes

The previous article began with a private conversation between Amaron and the Girl, who are both “part bees,” meaning they can perceive the world like bees. Taking a break from their apiary work, the two discussed a curious bee flight. A few dozen bees at a time flew to the Girl while She rested on a blue blanket among the beehives.

As they spoke, the Girl and Amaron revealed a secret: As part bees, they can see the glow of the honey bee’s eyes. By extension, the pair gave voice to the likely appearance of how bees would see the eyes of other bees. Also strange was the Girl’s casual mention of other glowing parts of a bee. That too is virtually unknown among beekeepers, as we can see only the regular rainbow colors.
