Can You Find the Bee Hiding In the Flowers?

Bees are incredible creatures: Not only do they pollinate our crops, they're capable of recognizing human faces, have distinct personalities, and they can understand the concept of zero. To raise awareness of the importance of bees, online retailer Swift Direct Blinds has created a fun brainteaser that challenges the viewer to find a bee hiding in a sea of colorful flowers.

“Brainteasers and optical illusions are always a hit around the office and to be able to tie in with such an important cause is great," David Roebuck, managing director at Swift Direct Blinds, said in a press release. "The hidden bee has really stumped a lot of people!”

You have as much time to try to find the bee as you’d like, but on average, it took viewers eight seconds to spot the insect. Set a timer and see if you can beat the buzzer. We'll include the solution to the brain teaser below.

After you've found the bee, feel free to read up on the insects, from what sets them apart from wasps to whether or not they really die after they sting you to paper that feeds bees and easy ways you can help them.

OK, ready for the solution?
