Abstract This chapter indicates that despite the terrible situation in Germany, the study of bee behaviour persisted until 1940, and recovered in Frankfurt, Freiburg and Münich after the war. However, the orthodox view did not change because the very doggone persistence of those in charge did not change. Spectral sensitivities of the receptors were unknown until 1964, and there was no alternative theory. Moreover, the culture that protected status and reputations has not changed to this day, and even grows, with signs that the huge research effort of all prosperous nations is slowed down by ever more conservative bureaucratic power dedicated to control of the funds and objectives.

Abstract This chapter aims to discuss what do bees detect with their eyes, and wants to show that a simple neuron interaction yields a useful cue and that behaviour can be correlated with neuron types. A symbolic representation of cue structure is also given. This chapter also defines the visual world of the bee, and other arthropods. With similar primary visual inputs, bees have a totally different visual world. They measure total inputs in each input channel, they detect contrast multiplied by edge length to measure modulation. They total the optic flow to measure distance flown and scan modulation to detect asymmetry. They detect horizontal position of blue relative to a green contrast, and its polarity. The cues are partially independent of range, but a far cry from the vision of higher vertebrates.

Abstract Finding the way to a familiar feeding ground and back again for shelter is understandably widespread among many groups of animals. This chapter shows that the bees and wasps learn as much as they need in order to know the direction of home, and they recognize places wherever they have learned them, as they do with small cues on a target. When the destinations are shuffled, they learn the positions of possible places to look, exactly as in the Y-choice apparatus. They are able to extend the scale of the exploratory flights, and build up a memory of the vector directions to two or more goals from a larger number of landmarks, as was inferred by Baerends for an experienced wasp taking a caterpillar to one of several nests from any point in her territory. Also, bees fly through complicated mazes. Now that the superficial stages of visual perception are known in outline, it should be possible to release well-trained bees back into a foraging area and see how they behave, especially in relation to cues at decision points.

Abstract This chapter presents information on the results of experiments on the colour discrimination of bees. It was shown that the green receptor pathway in bees was not sensitive to differences in brightness (except near threshold). Bees detected colour differences by blue content, and green and/or blue modulation, and width between vertical edges with green or blue contrast at vertical edges, providing a rich, consistent and memorable input as they scan.

Abstract This chapter provides information on various experiments conducted to determine whether bee vision is adapted for pattern or shape recognition. It was shown that bees learned to ignore cues that were the same on both targets and they remembered one or more simple cues in order of preference, but nothing about the pattern plan or shape. For each pair of patterns that was detected, the bees learned a selection from the same small repertoire of cues. When a new pair of patterns was substituted, the bees were obliged to learn the new situation. In each context, therefore, they could learn only one task, but in a different context, there would be other tasks.
