Research in the honeybee has laid the foundations for our understanding of insect colour
vision. The trichromatic colour vision of honeybees shares fundamental properties with …

Since the demonstration of color vision in honey bees 100 years ago by Karl von Frisch,
appetitive conditioning to color targets has been used as the principal way to access …

The honeybee, Apis mellifera L., is one of the living creatures that has its colour vision
proven through behavioural tests. Previous studies of honeybee colour vision has …

Colors are meaningful signals for honey bees. The information value originates from the
phylogenetic experience of the species and the ontogenetic experience of each individual …

Colour vision enables animals to detect and discriminate differences in chromatic cues
independent of brightness. How the bee visual system manages this task is of interest for …

The honey bee is a traditional animal model for the study of visual perception, learning, and
memory. Extensive behavioral studies have shown that honey bees perceive, learn, and …

Using a Y-maze experimental set-up, honeybees Apis mellifera were trained to a coloured
disc presented against an achromatic background. In subsequent tests they were given a …

The colour discrimination of individual free-flying honeybees (Apis mellifera) was tested with
simultaneous and successive viewing conditions for a variety of broadband reflectance …

Bumblebee (Bombus terrestris) discrimination of targets with broadband reflectance spectra
was tested using simultaneous viewing conditions, enabling an accurate determination of …

The spectral properties of the discrimination of pattern orientation in freely flying honeybees
(Apis mellifera) were examined. Bees were trained to discriminate between two random …
