EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing X-ray image captures the detail of a honey bee sting as it penetrated a human finger, offering a unique glimpse into the natural world. Dated circa 1900, this X-ray is part of the Boswell Collection, Box 165, held by Mary Evans Picture Library. The discovery of X-rays in 1895 by Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen revolutionized the medical field, allowing for the visualization of internal structures in the body. By the early 1900s, X-ray technology had become a popular curiosity, with lantern slides like this one used for educational and entertainment purposes. The honey bee sting in this X-ray is a reminder of the delicate balance between humans and nature. Bee stings, while painful, are a necessary part of the bee's life cycle, used for defense and to spread their colony's pheromones. For the person in this X-ray, the sting may have been an unwelcome intrusion, but it offers us a fascinating look at the mechanics of an insect's venomous attack. The image also speaks to the early days of X-ray technology, when the process was still new and exciting. The use of a lantern slide for projection adds to the sense of wonder and discovery, making this X-ray a captivating artifact from a bygone era.
