I am fond of much color, and I petitioned nostr:npub1uense4apn73tvh4u20tzlp6u72g4kdustzsm0k0sqy6yuwh5jxlsy97y76 to please let there be color in our apiaries. It is said that bees only see certain colors, but do see patterns, so the many color variations may help them recognize their hive from distances. That said, they identify home from recognition of the sun’s position relative to the hive and other bio markers like pheromones, etc.
