Are bees deaf?

Question

Are bees deaf?

If so....why? and how did they find out?

Answer 1

No, bees can hear using special organs in their antennae. There is a paper on Google about their auditory responses: W. H. Kirchner1

Abstract In the dance language, honeybees use airborne near field sound signals to inform their nestmates of the location of food sources. In behavioral experiments it has recently been shown that Johnston's organ, a chordotonal organ located in the pedicel of the antenna, is used to perceive these sound signals. In the present study the mechanical response of the antennal flagellum to stimulation with near field sound signals was investigated using laser vibrometry. The absolute amplitudes of antennal deflection with acoustical stimulation, the response to sounds of different displacement and velocity amplitudes, the shape of movement of the flagellum, the mechanical frequency response and the mechanical directional sensitivity of the auditory sense organ of the honeybee are described. Using pulsed stimuli simulating the dance sounds it is shown that the temporal pattern of the dance sound is resolved on the level of antennal vibrations.

Answer 2

multiple spelling bee words don't have a particular sign for it. And for this reason in huge-unfold use it would be finger spelled which one won't be able to do for a spelling bee. the way around this would in step with risk to first supply the type of syllables, then mouth the be conscious two times, then supply the definitions and use in a sentence. Then the guy would ought to fingerspell the be conscious. this would only be straightforward i think of if all bee human beings have been Deaf with lipreading adventure.

Answer 3

No, they're not.
