BBC Science Interview on Bees and their UV Vision

Interesting interview of BBC Sciene & Environment on bees and their ability to see UV.
The cover photo has been done by me for a previous publication with my colleague Prof. Lars Chittka.

Also FReD - the Floral Reflectance Datase is being mentioned. It allows researchers to analyse flowers and their reflectance found in different locations of the world.

Stay tuned, more will follow on that fascinating subject...
