Do bees have a nose?
It’s commonly known that dogs smell 40 times better than humans, but did you know that bees smell 50 times better than dogs?
Honeybees have 170 odor receptors in their antennae and they use this superpower for many things. Bees know the queen by her pheromones and guard bees use smell to know which bees entering the hive belong and which don’t. And, of course they use smell when foraging, sometimes smelling flowers from miles away!
