Bees use the sun as a guide, like a built-in map. When they fly out to find flowers, they watch where the sun is in the sky and figure out which way is home. It’s like having a tiny compass inside their heads! They also remember how far they’ve flown and turn corners when needed, it’s kind of like following directions from memory.
Examples
- When a bee flies away from its hive, it uses the sun, like a little compass, to remember where home is.
- Bees turn corners when they fly back, just like people use street signs to find their way home.
- A bee might follow a flower patch as a landmark, helping it find the way back to the hive.
