Whether bees hear or not has been a topic of discussion several
times on this list. I recall some newbie taking Dave Green to
task over making a statement about bees hearing an approaching
thunderstorm.
Although bees do not have ear drums (hence they don't "hear" in a
manner similar to human hearing), bees DEFINITELY are able to detect
the vibrations of sound waves and can interpret them in a manner
that can be described as "hearing". Bees hear. There is no doubt.
