Bee and flower, computer artwork
Bee and flower, computer artwork. The bee is using its wings to hover next to a flower (left). It will use its proboscis to drink nectar from the flower. In reaching the source of the nectar, it will make contact with the anthers (stalked structures at the centre of the flower) and pollen grains will be transferred from the flower to the bee. As the bee visits different flowers, the pollen will be transferred between them. This process, called cross-pollination, is how many flowering plants reproduce. Bees are insects in the superfamily Apoidea, and are closely related to ants and wasps

EDITORS COMMENTS
This computer artwork print showcases the intricate relationship between a bee and a flower. In this stunning image, we witness the bee utilizing its delicate wings to hover gracefully next to a vibrant flower on the left. With its proboscis ready, the bee is poised to drink nectar from the heart of the blossom. As it approaches for nourishment, an incredible process unfolds. The bee's contact with the anthers, which are stalked structures at the center of the flower, results in pollen grains being transferred onto its body. This transfer occurs repeatedly as the diligent insect visits various flowers during its journey. The phenomenon depicted here is known as cross-pollination - nature's ingenious method for many flowering plants to reproduce successfully. Bees belong to the superfamily Apoidea and share close kinship with ants and wasps. This mesmerizing illustration beautifully captures not only movement but also highlights essential elements of our natural world: wildlife, botany, zoology, and biology. It emphasizes how these winged wonders play a vital role in pollinating plants while they move through their environment. Science Photo Library presents this awe-inspiring artwork that delves into both scientific intricacies and artistic beauty found within our ecosystem – reminding us of nature's remarkable interconnectedness.
