Another good reason to love bees. Because they are soooooooo cool :-)
The fields bend the hairs and that generates a nerve signal, scientists say.

A while back I had published a post that bees could see an electrical charge on a flower and I hypothesized that they could detect a color change given an electrostatic change in a protein component of the flower but this is even cooler.
