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

Genius. Genetic modification of bees. What could possibly go wrong?
