EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of nature, featuring a Cuckoo bee, Melecta albifrons, perched delicately on a European larch tree, Larix decidua. The image also captures the presence of a stingless melipona honey bee, Melipona favosa. The vibrant colors and fine details in this handcoloured steel engraving by Adolph Fries truly bring these natural elements to life. The artist's skillful rendering allows us to appreciate the unique characteristics of each subject. The Cuckoo bee, with its striking black and yellow stripes, is known for its parasitic behavior as it lays eggs in other bees' nests. Its presence here adds an element of intrigue to the composition. Meanwhile, the European larch tree stands tall and majestic with its cone-shaped foliage and textured bark. This species is renowned for its timber quality and ability to thrive in colder climates. Lastly, we have the stingless melipona honey bee gracefully hovering near the larch tree's branches. These bees are native to tropical regions and produce delicious honey without stinging their human handlers. Overall, this print serves as a testament to the wonders of nature's diversity and interconnectivity. It reminds us of how different species coexist harmoniously within their ecosystems while showcasing their individual beauty.
