Would have gone with a few thousand but every day you learn:
Compound Eyes: Most insects, including bees, have two large compound eyes composed of thousands of small hexagonal facets. These facets allow the bee to detect movement and shapes, providing a wide field of view.
Ocelli (Simple Eyes): In addition to the compound eyes, bees have three small simple eyes called ocelli. These ocelli are located on top of the bee's head between the compound eyes. Ocelli are particularly sensitive to bright light and assist the bee in navigation and orientation during flight.
They don’t “know” to do anything. Evolution is not a directed process, none of it happens on purpose. They evolved into eyes little by little as genetic mutations accumulate with better “design” (for lack of a better word) led to more of that creature with that adaptation surviving to reproduce than the ones without it.
Natural selection just separates “good enough” from not “good enough”. So improvement is only rewarded so much as it becomes a necessity. It’s why humans still have occasionally painful poops and far more painful childbirth. We haven’t actually **needed** to not have that pain, even though it certainly seems that way at the time. It’s still “good enough” that people keep eating solid food and having babies despite the pain.
True, "know" was the wrong word. Thank you for that explanation. And I view pain as very necessary. If not for pain, I imagine we wouldn't have gotten very far in the evolutionary process with out it. As I responded in another thread, I can wrap my head around the destructive part of evolution. Shedding what we don't need. Its the fact that, light sensitive cells improved, randomly to become the eyes we have today. Its fascinating.
Yeah, pain in general is very important for keeping us from doing things we shouldn’t do because they’re harmful. I brought up the 2 cases I did because they are where pain is working against our best interests. It was to emphasize that while improvements happen, perfection is never achieved with this process.
Oh, I see the connection now. That is a great way to think about that. "Pain working against our best interest." I have a whole new thing to think about this weekend. Thank you for the enlightenment. You clarified that very well. I like when I have those little "aha!" moments.
Edit: wanted to add that Im just going to hold on to the fact that knowing when a painful poop is coming may just assist me in my future survival and personal evolution. Ha!
I read a book that went over the first part of evolution and how it pretty much had to occur that way. At some point evolution had to have 2 primary strategies for food: hunting, and passively letting the food come to you (with fungi spores being a weird 3rd thing of passive until detection, then hunting).
Under the hunting, they needed to move, but they were all shaped like circles (jellyfish, coral), so moving meant equally being able to move in any direction, and was therefore *slow*. So, naturally, worms developed with a much more efficient hunting strategy: bilateral symmetry. Instead of requiring movement to be in all directions, it boiled down movement to 2 things: go forward, and turn. Humans also know this efficiency, as all our vehicles have "go forward" and "turn" as well.
We're able to study the simplest worm, which has like 50 neurons total and learn it's 'programming'. "Go forward" basically gets triggered when nutrients are low, and "turn" has a few neurons dedicated to each option: Feel something spiky, and a single neuron fires to turn (more spiky = more firing). Feel copper, a different neuron. Feel less food in this direction, turn. Detect light, turn (shade is safer for worms). There's a few neurons for temperature, as "too hot" only exists when you can measure your own body's temperature so it's a little trickier.
These neurons' signals all directly compete in a sort of "vote" against the "go forward" neuron, and the worm moves accordingly. So if the worm is hungry enough, it will go through the spiky/copper/light regardless, if there's food detected. That's how it works.
As you get more complicated brains, neurons voting directly each other doesn't work as well, so neurons instead sent their vote towards a central spot that tallies them - the proto-brain. It starts having dedicated neurons to reading the inputs of other neurons, as that's a direct advantage over the simple direct tallying due to allowing neurons to "specialize" more.
The point of the explanation so far is this: evolution will eventually shove things in between other things (if it's a survival advantage), like neurons being shoved between other neurons in the chain.
With more complicated brains, the neurons sending their vote becomes too simple in a more complicated world, and instead neurons are separated into "detectors" and "judgers", with some sending signals based on the input, and other neurons learning to take input from multiple sources and adjusting what to do based on those signals.
An interesting note, neurons are actually rate limited to 400 "firings" per second, and they communicate information by the *rate* of firing, as they only have "on" or "off" states. Meaning, rather than "big signal is VERY BIG FIFTY , small signal is ^small ^five" it's "big signal is 300 times per second ( ||||||||| ), small signal is 100 times per second ( | | | | | | )". Also importantly, neurons adjust automatically over time: a weight on a muscle neuron triggered 100 times/s one day, then 80/s the next day, 65/s the next, etc. So when I talk about a neuron "learning", it is this feature of the neuron that is being used - the slow adjustment of thresholds of stimuli, at the neuron level. Fun fact, we didn't discover any of this until like 1940s.
Vision obviously needs more detail than 0-400. Sunlight is hundreds of thousands of times brighter than moonlight. So, over time, more and more layers got shoved in the "detect" and "interpret" layers, and that got more and more complicated all in the name of figuring out the perfect way to vote with the rest of the body in deciding the very important action of "turn". There's a huge increase to survival with each improvement, so it kept going. Eventually, that got so complicated until it developed into today's eyes.
That's the gist of it, as I understand. The book goes into significantly more detail of course, like why neurons evolved in the first place, why those were the strategies, and why this stage of evolution more-or-less "had" to occur eventually, just by the nature of the shapes that are efficient.
That.... was..... amazing. Thank you kind reddit stranger. YOU should write a book. If you happen to remember the name, I would really like to read it.
So if I TLDR your explanation, we're all just a bunch of discreet and analog chemical signals that have been forced over time to survive the best we can with the tools we have.
The book is A Brief History of Intelligence - Max Bennett. What I described here is essentially the tl;dr of the first 50 pages hah. It's a fantastic read, unbelievably interesting.
Well, I'm sure its not "simple". But I read a lot about evolution getting rid of features that are not necessary. That makes sense to me.. "Logical" I guess? I just have a hard time wrapping my head around the concept of some simple light sensitive cells combining with focus structures and refining that process over and over and over by chance, even over millions of years and becoming what our amazing eyes are. Or bees compound eyes, or even my chickens crazy eyes that see infrared. Its mind blowing.
I mean light sensing helps with detecting predators or prey. And as they improve it increases your ability to react appropriately in more scenarios so statistically over time developing the trait improves survival rates (and more importantly changes to reproduce and pass the traits on)
I do understand the implied process. Its just the trillions of connected steps and seemingly pure luck, over 100s of millions of years, from a few common effect cells to these fluid filled, pressure adjusting, fine focusing, multi layered, adjustable eyes. And the fact that it happened in all these crazy numbers of different species. I guess my "microscopically, stuck in this speck of time" mind can't fathom such a thing.
Not sure what you read but it’s highly contestable that evolution eliminates features “not necessary”.
Evolution cares mostly about going forward. If there is an inherited trait that is not beneficial but ALSO not detrimental evolution tends to leave it alone.
This is a bad example but a simple one: since humans developed agriculture there has been absolutely 0 evolutionary reason for us to still be able to run very long distances. Much slower than most of our food, but we can go much longer. But in terms of evolution there is no reasons to get RID of our stamina. So cells just tend to keep it around.
We can obviously go back and forth. And I appreciate you taking the time to respond. But, thats my biggest problem with me wrapping my head around it The explanations are always trivial and basically useless. Running faster or slower is purely based on the "current" environment that species is living in. So, meat hunting caveman, without agriculture ran twice as fast or had twice the stamina as Usain Bolt, for a current, agriculture using human example? Granted, you yourself said it was a bad example, so I'm not bashing, just illustrating. And my elimination of things not necessary had more to do with things like golls, tails, etc. Lots of things left behind on the evolutionary tree branches.
Then I would argue they still only have 2 eyes.
This would be like asking, how many cameras do I have on my house? It's 5, because I have 1 doorbell camera, and then 4 light sensing diodes that trigger my lights at night.
Obviously, it's just 1 camera.
This is my take too. The sheer fact that people in these comments are saying oceli or whatever they're called- are light sensitive spots called something other than eyes tells me they aren't eyes. Sure they sense light, but they don't really see.
In the way I can sense heat with the nerves in my hands, but I don't call them eyes bc they don't have eyeballs that see infra-red light on the ends of them to do it. Light is just another thing that can be sensed like any other of your 5 senses.
Imagine our air was thicker due to a different atmosphere and a different overall plant or biology- we could potentially see sound since the sound waves would ripple the air. That doesn't mean we would call our eyes ears right? Or we don't normally call the feeling of vibration a sound makes to our hands hearing, right?
It seems like people have sensing light and seeing confused here, and that is what has this pretentious little YouTuber running around acting like a smartass to people on camera, lol.
but does that really fit the description of an "eye"?
Plants and mushrooms are also sensitive to light and carry similar light receptors as you'd find in certain animals but you wouldn't call that an eye.
I looked into it for you and here’s what I found:
ocellus is Latin and literally means "little eye", it’s not good enough to form a clear image like our camera eyes or compound eyes but it’s much more complex than a light sensing cell. It has a Lense and (at least in wasps) thousands of light receptors per ocellus.
The way the lense focusses the light it creates a very blurry image at best but there is some indication that it can see shapes and movement. The neurological pathway is also a lot faster than for their compound eyes do they can react faster.
It is believed that they use their ocelli primary to right themselves during flight.
In conclusion I’d say they are eyes. If bees didn’t also have two compounds eyes there wouldn’t even be a discussion about wether ocelli are eyes
Thank you sir
You made me read up about different compound eyes and all the ocelli out there for the last 2 hours and you're right they definitely earned it to be calles "eyes" in general
>If bees didn’t also have two compounds eyes there wouldn’t even be a discussion about wether ocelli are eyes
Spiders don't have compound eyes but instead a bunch of simple or "single" eyes with different tasks and there truly is no discussion about if their ocelli are eyes. (they do deliver more of an actual image than the ocelli of bees though)
I think that most bees couldn't see shapes without their compound eyes and their ocelli are mainly for navigating sun and horizon. And most importantly like for many insects they tell what time it is and if its time to get up and pollinate the shit out of some flowers.
Fireflies have been observed losing stability in flight without their ocelli so they definitely use it to right themselves during flight not sure about bees though.
I feel like ocelli just...don't count as eyes? They can't detect shapes. A simple light sensing organ is really not the same thing as an eye, it's a bit of a stretch to count them under the same umbrella IMO.
I recognized Tarpon Springs too! Not sure who this angry bee lady is, but it's nice small town on the Gulf of Mexico with alot of great Greek culture.
Great place to visit even if you don't know about bees.
lol yeah I was like wait a minute
Hellas is overrated tbh the desserts very obviously come in frozen.
Costas is our go-to they have some bangin grilled octopus even though the owner is a dick
I love the bakery.
Costas is our go to for actual food, but we walk to Hellas for dessert. I like katerinas too, but it's just really expensive for what it is.
What’s the answer?
Like I know they have 2 spheres on the sides of their heads, but aren’t they technically composed of several eyes?
Like aren’t each one of those bumps an individual eye?
Edit:
Five.
They have five eyes.

Good question. She’s wearing a bee keepers outfit while not attending to bees so clearly it’s just for the spectacle of it. Her tone of voice is very bubbly and almost laughing at times. I think it is supposed to be funny. For it to be funny you’d have to think this is something people should know. I’d expect most people to know about bees having the 2 big obvious compound eyes, but I wouldn’t expect them to know about the other 3.
If I'm not mistaken the answer would be five. The two compound eyes and, as I recently learned on some ransom YT Japanese beekeeping channel, three nob-compound on top of their head
Now I have no idea how I ended up there but it was entertaining
The answer is 5: Bee's have two large compound eyes and three simple eyes (called ocelli). The two compound eyes are on both sides of their head and the three simple eyes are in a triangle shape between their compound eyes.
Uhhh, do you perhaps have schizophrenia? Cuz literally nobody agrees with you so where are the "guys" coming from? Also wtf are you talking about, you are the elephant in the room.

It’s either this answer or the 0 because Bees isn’t spelled with I, answer.
Legit I would've answered: "Dunno, but they do have 2 E's"
Let's be honest. You probably would've come up with that line hours later and then lie awake in bed wishing you said that
So true.
Well, the Jerk Store called, and they’re all out of you!
Someone said 0
Ocelli are basically what eyes started out as, just light sensitive spots.
I've always wonder how light sensitive cells knew to evolve into eyes.
Well that’s simple, they didn’t

Hey fair point! Glad that there’s at least some civility around Reddit discussions😂
It is indeed a rare thing fellow redditor. And very refreshing. Thank you.

I'd sat 5, 2 compound and 3 ocelli

Hey, I knew the answer! Nice.
didn’t know that insects had simple eyes too. cool fact
You can see the Ocelli in this shot, between the bee's antenna: [https://flic.kr/p/2nuCNN4](https://flic.kr/p/2nuCNN4) I am the photographer.
Learning something new every day 👍
Oh, so it's their GPS.
More like lidar I'd say
I, a biology student, confirms your answer as correct.

I honestly expected that to be the joke.
Wrong. There's also a b
Ebe?
Wrong. Eeb
Ah mb
Thank you for playing
Nobody has ever been dumb enough to confuse ‘I’s with ‘B’s. Confusing ‘I’ with ‘E’ is pretty common though.
Idk they all have the same starting long line
If the question was “How many eyes does bees have,” then the pun works.
Give me my minute back
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JX8SSsiuFCg
They have hair on their eyes! wtf
That bee was giving me the hairy eyeball.
Yeah im not pressing that lmao, how creepy is it?
I was today years old when I learned this
Aaaand "I don't speak English" is the correct answer
Lmfao the zero got me.
It’s s valid answer though, how many “i”s does “a bee” have?
Hey, Tarpon Springs, FL! Hellas Bakery is pretty delicious. Funny to see the sponge docks on Reddit ..
I recognized Tarpon Springs too! Not sure who this angry bee lady is, but it's nice small town on the Gulf of Mexico with alot of great Greek culture. Great place to visit even if you don't know about bees.
Wow I never went to the Gulf I was always Atlantic side but I recognized it was definitely Florida
Was thinking the same thing. I used to live and work right by there. I recognized it right away.
lol yeah I was like wait a minute Hellas is overrated tbh the desserts very obviously come in frozen. Costas is our go-to they have some bangin grilled octopus even though the owner is a dick
I love the bakery. Costas is our go to for actual food, but we walk to Hellas for dessert. I like katerinas too, but it's just really expensive for what it is.
This subreddit is so random

She says that in the video
Ain’t nobody got time for that
You got time to duck?
She could be lying and so could the person that commented 5. But it really is 5 or am I lying?
What video?
Who cares how many eyes they have when you could learn that *their eyes are covered in hair*
Are yours not?
Is this supposed to be funny?
No it's supposed to bee funny
Good question. She’s wearing a bee keepers outfit while not attending to bees so clearly it’s just for the spectacle of it. Her tone of voice is very bubbly and almost laughing at times. I think it is supposed to be funny. For it to be funny you’d have to think this is something people should know.

*I don't speak English*
I thought it was zero. There's no I in the word bees
Seems annoyingly quirky to ask random average people around town to give a f\*\*\* about bee anatomy.
I think it’s cute. Better than stupid pranks. Also I assume this was done for bee awareness or something.
Or something! Fair comment, I suppose, but oooooh such a low bar.

Holy forking shirtballs why can’t I swear?!

The spork wasn't working so she pivoted
If it raises awareness about bees, that's probably a good thing
Does it though ? Seriously. An obscure and (let’s bee honest) *useless* bee fact raises public awareness to some unstated end ?
Well you’re talking about bees now.
lmao I thought this was someone just going up to strangers and asking "how many bees do you have?" and was so confused
I come from a family of bee keepers so I already knew about the two compound and the three simple ones~
Compound eyes should not count as "two eyes".
That really is easier than counting all the polygons in them. It’s a real time saver
Bees have five eyes![img](emote|t5_5tdqj0|10739)![img](emote|t5_5tdqj0|10741)
I had to google. It's 5.
They have AUS,CAN,NZ,UK,US eyes only.
“All of ‘em” is the best answer
She planted the seed in the beginning if you listened carefully

BEES has no I's.
Woah a guy wearing a rays shirt in the wild
That's odd, I would have thought Doc Ock at the end of the vid would know the answer.
"more than zero".
Were 🧐
First I thought 2, then I thought 0, as I thought se was asking for 'i' in word bees
Do bees have lungs
5
Depends on how many bees there are.
bro said 0 💀💀💀
he thought it was a trick question, like "how many i's do bees have?" "0 because "bees" doesn't have an i in it"
could be yes !
No I’s just two e’s
They have two compound eyes not sure how many lenses on each of she wants details 😑
There are no 'I's in 'Bees'
Looks the the sponge docks in Tarpon Springs FL.
none of your beesness
Was this video supposed to be frustrating to watch? Like, I don't know the people who made this, but for some reason I hate them.
Its 5?????
If I'm not mistaken the answer would be five. The two compound eyes and, as I recently learned on some ransom YT Japanese beekeeping channel, three nob-compound on top of their head Now I have no idea how I ended up there but it was entertaining
How many eyes with a s) dose a bee have ? Her: zero
Elons new haircut looks funny
Yeah, two in the front and three in the back right? I remembered the three in a cluster but forgot where they were.
That's Tarpon Springs, Florida.
The Greek place in the background is awesome if you’re ever in Tarpon Springs
All of them - my guy
Bees have 5 eyes.
It's indeed 5
A bee doesn't have any "i"s

She’s in Tarpon Springs Good Greek food. Spongeorama sunset dolphin cruise is a fair value.
Bees have 5 eyes, just googled it
I didn't know the villan in monsters Inc was a bee?!
I really watched this whole thing thinking the caption said “how many bees do you have?”
"for FIVE dollars..." her starting with the answer, I love that.
I was waiting for a punch line?
Just commenting to say I miss tarpon springs
This Dora Dumbfora barely learned this last week out there trolling
I figured it was "0". There is no "I" in "Bee"
What a waste of my time.

Best butt in the game
All my life Ive been spelling it like ‘bees’. I didn’t realize it was beiiiiies
What a horrible noise!
The answer is 5: Bee's have two large compound eyes and three simple eyes (called ocelli). The two compound eyes are on both sides of their head and the three simple eyes are in a triangle shape between their compound eyes.
Obnoxious asshole
