Bee lovers,

Just when you thought is was just about pollination or honey. 

http://physicsworld.com/cws/article/news/2017/mar/27/honey-bees-navigate-using-magnetic-abdomens


Though its not proven yet they use this abdomen receptor for navigation, im probably more than sure its handy at picking up flowers "come hither" call to pollinators when the flowers "speak" to the bees by altering the magnetic field around them!! 


Either way...the more we know, the more we learn we don't know much. 😉


Enjoy!
