While they have no ears, they can pick up sounds with their bodies. <strong>They detect and interpret sound through substrate-borne and airborne vibrations.<\/strong> Substrate-borne, meaning vibrations from the ground, and airborne for vibrations in the air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this study, researchers trained bees to respond to sound by associating it with a mild electric shock. Upon hearing the sound, bees would leave the feeder and avoid the shock entirely. [<a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/17740340\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a later study, the same researchers also trained bees to move according to a sound signal.

Specifically, they hear with their legs and antennae. Each of these contains sensory organs that detect vibrations. <strong>Bee legs have the subgenual organs while the antennae have the Johnson\u2019s organ.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Are_Subgenual_Organs\"><\/span>What Are Subgenual Organs?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Subgenual organs are sensory receptors found in the legs of bees. They\u2019re located below the knee or at the tibia of each leg. They consist of scolopidia which contain mechanosensory neurons. These neurons are what pick up vibrations and other stimuli. [<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Subgenual_organ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">6<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bees use the subgenual organs to detect substrate-borne vibrations.<\/strong> They pick up vibrations as sound and relay the information to the brain for processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_Is_the_Johnstons_Organ\"><\/span>What Is the Johnston\u2019s Organ?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Johnston&#8217;s organ is a sensory organ found in the antennae of insects. Specifically, it&#8217;s found in the pedicel, the 2nd segment of the antennae. Like subgenual organs, it consists of scolopidia, the unit mechanoreceptor in invertebrates. [<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Johnston%27s_organ\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">7<\/a>]<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Johnston\u2019s organ is responsible for detecting vibrations in the air.<\/strong> These detected vibrations are converted into electrical signals that bees interpret as sounds.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bees can distinguish different frequencies and patterns of vibrations. This allows them to react accordingly to different types of sounds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the Johnston&#8217;s organ plays a crucial role in bee behavior. Bees use it for communication, navigation and to recognize their nestmates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Do_Bees_Use_Sound_Information\"><\/span>How Do Bees Use Sound Information?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Waggle Dance  | Inside the Animal Mind | BBC\" width=\"720\" height=\"405\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/12Q8FfyLLso?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bees use sound to communicate.<\/strong> In fact, bees themselves, produce sound to convey information. For instance, honeybees create sound when they perform the waggle dance. They use these sounds to communicate critical information regarding food resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Honeybees also produce piping sounds to communicate with their nestmates. Nest-site scouts use such sounds to stimulate non-scouts for flight.

In doing so, they recruit workers to chew on the cell so that they can emerge faster. They then use the same sound to assert their position to rival virgin queens. Through this sound, they find each other and engage in combat. They\u2019ll keep producing this sound until there&#8217;s only 1 queen left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Related_Questions\"><\/span>Related Questions<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"536\" src=\"https:\/\/scifaqs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/study-of-bees2-1024x536.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3616\" srcset=\"https:\/\/scifaqs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/study-of-bees2-1024x536.png 1024w, https:\/\/scifaqs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/study-of-bees2-300x157.png 300w, https:\/\/scifaqs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/study-of-bees2-768x402.png 768w, https:\/\/scifaqs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/study-of-bees2.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Sensitive_Is_Bee_Hearing\"><\/span>How Sensitive Is Bee Hearing?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bees can detect sounds in a frequency range from about <strong>10 Hz to 500 Hz.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Do_Bees_Hear_the_Same_Frequencies_as_Humans\"><\/span>Do Bees Hear the Same Frequencies as Humans?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>No, bees don\u2019t hear the same frequencies as humans.
