How many bees can you see in this busy picture? Some are striped yellow and black, some are fluffy bumblebees, and others have delicate wings spread wide. Their different sizes and poses can make the total surprisingly hard to track.
A simple way to count them
Scan the picture from left to right, one row at a time. Count each complete bee once, even if it looks like it is flying or resting on a flower. You do not need to count wings, legs or shadows separately.
Answer and explanation
There are 20 bees. The picture contains four rows of five bees each. Add 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 to get 20.
