Honeybee leg, SEM
Honey bee leg. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the leg of a honeybee (Apis mellifera) covered in pollen grains (round). The dense coating of hairs has trapped the pollen. This pollen may be brushed off onto the stigma of flowers the bee visits, pollinating the flowers

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate beauty of a honeybee leg under a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The black background highlights the vibrant colors and details of this remarkable specimen. Covered in an abundance of pollen grains, which appear as small round particles, the leg is adorned with a dense coating of hairs that have expertly trapped these vital plant gametes. The role of this pollen becomes evident as we delve into the fascinating world of pollination. As bees visit flowers in search of nectar, they inadvertently collect pollen on their hairy legs. This serves as nature's ingenious mechanism for transferring male gametes to female reproductive organs known as stigmas on other flowers. In doing so, bees play an essential role in fertilizing plants and ensuring their continued reproduction. The photograph not only captures the scientific significance but also showcases the delicate intricacy found within nature's design. It invites us to appreciate the complexity and interconnectedness present even at microscopic levels. Through this image, we are reminded of both the beauty and importance of insects like honeybees in maintaining our ecosystems.
