  "account": "Recent research published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences challenges previous understandings of bee vision. Scientists from Lund University and the University of Adelaide studied four species of bees - bumblebees and three solitary bee species - and found that small solitary bees have higher visual resolution than worker honey bees. The study, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, reveals that evolution has produced diverse solutions for achieving high-quality vision in bees.",
  "summary": "The honey bee has held a special place in vision research. It is one of the best-studied insects, and much of what scientists know about how bees perceive the world is based on studies of honey bees.",
