Scientists found tiny magnetic particles in most bee species, suggesting their hidden ability to sense Earth’s magnetic field
Scientists discovered microscopic magnetic particles in most bee species examined. This finding suggests a widespread biological capacity for sensing Earth's magnetic field. Previous research focused on only a few social bee species. The new study included nearly 100 diverse bee species and their lifestyles. These particles were generally found in the mesosoma and abdomen of the insects.
