Can Bees Recognize Faces?

Evidently they can. Who knew?!


Did you know bees can recognize human faces? The short answer: yep. Apparently, bees are little learning machines—researchers trained them to associate certain faces with honey, and they remembered them. So, yeah… your neighborhood bees might actually know who you are.

That said, they probably don’t need to recognize us in the wild. But if you show up at the hive same time every day? They’ll be ready. Routine + reward = bee fandom.

(I’ve never felt so seen by something with six legs and no eyelids.)
