  "script": "A bee sees a world you will never see. Where your eyes detect three colors, a bee's detect ultraviolet — a band of light completely invisible to humans. Look at a flower. To you, it is a simple splash of yellow. But to a bee, that same flower blazes with hidden patterns: glowing bullseyes and dark landing strips that point straight to the nectar. Evolution painted these secret signals over millions of years, advertising in a channel only pollinators can tune into. Some flowers even glow with ultraviolet runway lights to guide a bee in to land. And bees see more than color — their eyes refresh so fast that our movies would look like a slideshow to them. The meadow you stroll through in silence is, to a bee, a dazzling, screaming billboard — a map of light written in a language your eyes were never built to read.",
