Eli5: Why do Bees rarely fly into the house? Unlike flies or wasps?

629 viewsOther

I always find flies flying around the house. Occasionally wasps. But I have never had a Honey bee or bumble bee enter the house.

I believe bees find food via ultraviolet light, flies search out purifying stuff by smell and wasps search for sweet things by smell. Your house just doesn’t display the interesting ultraviolet patterns that attract bees. Could be wrong on this though.
