Dim-light colour vision in the facultatively nocturnal Asian giant honeybee, Apis dorsata

We discovered nocturnal colour vision in the Asian giant honeybee Apis dorsata—a facultatively nocturnal species—at mesopic light intensities, down to half-moon light levels (approx. 10(−2) cd m(−2)). The visual threshold of nocturnality aligns with their reported nocturnal activity down to the same...
