While there is some controversy about the complexity of\nunderlying neural correlates, the research of honeybee navigation makes\nprogress through both the analysis of flight behavior and the synthesis of\nagent models. Since visual cues are believed to play a crucial role for the\nbehavioral output of a navigating bee we have developed a realistic\n3-dimensional virtual world, in which simulated agents can be tested, or in\nwhich the visual input of experimentally traced animals can be reconstructed.\nIn this paper we present implementation details on how we reconstructed a large\n3-dimensional world from aerial imagery of one of our field sites, how the\ndistribution of ommatidia and their view geometry was modeled, and how the\nsystem samples from the scene to obtain realistic bee views.
