Unknown remains unknown.
A computational honeybee assembled from published Apis mellifera neurobiology.
No complete synapse-resolution whole-brain honeybee connectome is established by the sources assembled here. BEE brings selected anatomical structures, physiological observations, identified cells and published models into one inspectable environment.
Anatomy, physiology and models have different meanings.
A projection into a brain region is not a known synapse onto every cell there. Overlapping stains do not establish a synaptic partner. A population estimate is not a collection of individually reconstructed neurons. The evidence schema preserves these distinctions.
What the live display means.
The current release is a qualitative exposure simulator. Highlights identify systems with published responsiveness while a synthetic stimulus is being presented. They are not measured calcium traces or predicted firing rates. No calibrated quantitative neural transfer functions are currently admitted.
The authored body uses a separate kinematic specimen rig. It does not claim neural generation of wing strokes, full flight physics, or a reconstructed brain-to-muscle pathway.
A published model must also be the right species.
The path-integration study by Stone et al. (2017) used Megalopta sweat bees. Its neuron IDs and hypothetical connections are excluded from BEE. The published-model mode is implemented, but currently contains zero admitted neural circuit models.
Real source geometry; visible access limits.
The Berlin Honeybee Standard Brain supplies the actual neuropil and registered-cell surfaces. Modern atlas labels are retained separately. InsectBrainDB returned HTTP 403 during retrieval, so unavailable modern and central-complex reconstructions are recorded as missing.
The Internet is an artificial sensory source.
An external digital quantity can pass through a documented, artificial mapping into a synthetic stimulus. It does not imply that a honeybee understands markets, blockchains or language. The optional token module is independent of the scientific model.
Scope and interpretation.
This application is a computational visualization and simulation of selected published honeybee systems. It is not a complete digital reconstruction, and it does not imply consciousness. Biological connectivity is never filled with random, probabilistic or AI-generated edges.
Specialist review, additional source curation and calibrated quantitative datasets are needed before interpreting this as a predictive neural simulation.
