THE EYES OF BEES.
Their Immense Size Supposed
Hep Them in Their EIfGht,

4he1E immense size supposed 10
Hep Them in Their Flight.
The directness of a bees fight is
.proyerbial.. The shortest distance be-
tween any two given points is called a
bee line. Many observers think that
the immense eyes with which the in
sect is furnished greatly assist if they
not entirely account for, the arrowy
straightness of it's passage through the
air.
Every bee has two kinds of eyes-the
two large compound ones, looking like
hemispheres. on either side, and the
three simple Cnes which crown the top
of the head. Each compound eye is
composed of $500 facets-that is to say
an object is reflected $500 times on its
surface.
Every one of these facets is the base
of an inverted hexagonal pyramid,
whose apex is fitted to the head. Each
pyramid may, be termed an eye, for
each has it's own iris and optic nerve.
How these insects manage this mar
velous number Of eyes is not known.
They are immoyable, but mobility ia
unnecessary BECAUSE of the range of
vision afforded by the position and the
number of facets.
They have no lids, but are protected
from dust and injury by rows of hairs
growing along the lines at the juno
tons of the facets. The simple eyes
are supposed to have been given the
bee to enable it to see above it's head
when intent upon gathering honey from
the cups of flowers.
Probably this may be one reason,
but it is likely there are other uses for
them not yet ascertained. a bee flies
much in the. same way as q pigeon
that is to say, il. first takes an upward
spiral fight into the air, and then darts
straight for the object in view.
Now an experimenter On insect ma
ture covered q bees simple eyes with
paint and sent 1t into the air; instead
of darting straight off after rising, it
continued to ascend. Apparently, then,
these eyes are used in some measure
to direct the flight.
