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 …

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 …

Many visual animals exploit spectral information for seeking food and mates, for identifying
preys and predators, and for navigation. Animals use chromatic information in two …

Vision is one of the most important modalities for the remote perception of biologically
important stimuli. Insects like honeybees and bumblebees use their colour and spatial vision …

Bees discriminate between many different colours of flower petals, but it is not well
understood how they perceive and learn patterns frequently found in flowers with colourful …

Honey bees (Apis mellifera Linnaeus, 1758) potentially rely on a variety of visual cues when
searching for flowers in the environment. Both chromatic and achromatic (brightness) …

Flowers are often viewed by bee pollinators against a variety of different backgrounds. On
the Australian continent, backgrounds are very diverse and include surface examples of all …

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 …

Colour constancy is the perceptual phenomenon that the colour of an object appears largely
unchanged, even if the spectral composition of the illuminating light changes. Colour …
