Honeybees have the ability to understand the time of the day using the polarisation of the sunlight from their compound eyes

Insect vision has distinct differences from human vision. Humans cannot detect polarized light. Insects not only detect polarized light but use polarized light for orientation during flight. When sunlight hits the atmosphere, most of the light scatters except for the light rays that contact the atmosphere nearly perpendicular. This polarizes the light that penetrates the atmosphere. Sunlight everywhere is polarized and everywhere indicates the direction of the sun. Insects, because they can detect polarization, always know the direction of the sun or the moon. This is a useful navigation tool.
