Honestly, I was already out of my depth with the entomology and ophthalmology discussed here. The economics of bee optometry might be a bridge too far for me. Can a bee make enough honey to afford such lenses? If so, does it improve the bee’s ability to make honey enough to justify the cost? I have no idea and no clue regarding how to investigate this issue.

perhaps we’re coming at this from the wrong direction, does a bee even need lenses? maybe what they actually need is just eye protection, which would make everything much cheaper

Correction or no, it seems something like goggles is the solution. Boggles?

Interesting hypothesis. I guess the best way to test it would be to try to sell bee safety glasses to beekeepers.

You can alway upsell them on bee ears to hold the glasses on
