Did you know? Honeybees are not only responsible for producing delicious honey, but they're also incredibly skilled navigators. They can navigate vast distances using the position of the sun and Earth's magnetic field!
The Bee's Compass: Honeybees have a special light-sensing organ that allows them to detect the sun's position, even when it's obscured by clouds. They also possess an internal "magnetometer" that helps them sense the Earth's magnetic field, enabling them to maintain a sense of direction during flight.
