Kuhn took the study of honeybees’ color sense further. The only color it did NOT work with was red. He then tried this with green, yellow, orange, violet, purple and red. When he removed the feed, the bees still went to the blue card. He imprinted the bees with the idea that feed could be found on a blue card, but not the other colors. He did this by using colored cards and bee feed. In 1915, he showed that bees could discern green, yellow, orange, blue, violet, and purple. However:īee’s color sense was partially demonstrated by Karl von Frisch. I could not find the study that came to this conclusion, but I like it, as my favorite colors are purple, violet, and then blue. Their favorites are said by some to be: purple, then violet, then blue (which all look different to them). Yellow – Green (darker perhaps than yellow) (Courtesy of West Mountain Apiary, where a very good write-up about color can be found) Humans It’s not that they don’t get angry (as in “to see red”), but honeybees see the color red as black. Blue, violet and purple are seen as a second color. Some studies propose that honeybees see orange, yellow, and green as one color (green in that group surprised me). We can distinguish about 60 other colors as combinations of our three primary colors.īear in mind that not all the studies agree on the exact colors or preferences bees see, but they all agree red is black.Humans see “primary colors” as red, blue, and green.They can distinguish yellow, orange, blue-green, violet, purple, as combinations of their three primary colors.
