Subject: [BEE-L] Do bees like Van Gogh’s Sunflowers?

Do bees like Van Gogh’s Sunflowers?
Lars Chittka, Julian Walker


Although, most of C. Monet (1840–1926), flower paintings 
were made years earlier.  Monet; an avid painter of flowers, 
had the lens removed from his right eye in 1923 due to
cataract, and would therefore have been able to see UV
patterns of flowers.

In some cases there was
an assumption that the fact that the bees were attracted
to the centres of the flowers in Van Gogh’s painting
indicated that the artist had ‘‘unwittingly’’ captured
some essence of the flower, which rendered the painted
flower attractive to bees.
