Andrea, Nice!

Do some bees have UV-green heads? Or was that just random fun?

[dabateman]

Didn't someone once ask for a whole bunch of bee in UV photos?

Never got around to doing that. Every time I ask a bee to stand really still, it just flies away. Very rude, as if they don't like the attention.

Steve, some of those little-bitty sweat bees are iridescent green. I suppose I was going for that. :lol:

 

David, those bees are busy. They don't have time to stop and chat. La!!

 

I thought this poster might be useful to explain "bee vision" to older kids. The early version of this poster was used at a demo of some UV floral signatures by a agricultural agency in the midwestern US. I updated it to reflect my increased knowledge (not much though) about how bees detect flowers.
