Bee Powers

http://phenomena.nationalgeographic.com/2013/02/21/bees-can-sense-the-electric-fields-of-flowers/  would it be correct to say that this is blindsight that can be disrupted by powerful electricity?

No, it's more like blindsense.  Maybe even just scent though.  Also, lots of animals can detect electric fields.  Including maybe humans.  Fun fact!  Electromagnetism is freaking STRONG.  Anyways, power lines mess with cows grazing patterns.  Normally they align themselves N/S, but around power lines they align differently.  All grazing animals do this actually, but it was noticed in cows first.

howzis look Electric Sense (Ex):  The Bumble Bee effectively has Blindsense in a 60 ft. radius.  This is disrupted for the round anytime someone in this area of effect uses an attack doing electrical damage.  If it has ongoing damage, the Blindsense is disrupted until the damage stops.

Scent Mark (Ex): As a Swift Action you can leave a message of up to 6 characters on any surface.  This message is only detectable by beings that have the Scent Ability, and usually only decipherable to members of your species (unless someone takes the time to learn your species Scent Markings as a Language).

Bees have scent like that, but when I said the electric thing was like scent I meant mechanics, because scent is less powerful than blindscense.  Also, the bee's electric sense can be disrupted by weaker electric fields.  But for balance those are great.

Now for the biggie, if Bumble Bees can do it, do I blithely assume the rest of bee-kind can?

[dman11235]

I wouldn't assume so.  Most honey bees probably can?  I don't know.

(if you believe the movie Jupiter Ascending) ...  ... Bees can Summon Mila Kunis.
