Non-honey bees


Inktober #13 – horizon

Have you seen any of these videos where a bird (eg a kestrel or a kingfisher, or even a hen) keeps its head still when flying or sitting on a moving branch? Bees also have this kind of optic stabilization. When they fly, their thorax might rotate but head keeps being oriented horizontally. Here you can find an example of studies on this topic.
