Bees and beehive, 17th century artwork

Bees and beehive, 17th century artwork. Bees are social insects that form colonies around a queen bee. They gather nectar and pollen to feed their larvae, also producing honey. This honey is harvested by beekeepers. This is a simple form of beehive, known as a skep, and made of straw. This is a woodcut from a book by the English naturalist and physician Thomas Muffet (1553-1604). The book was titled Insectorum sive minimorum animalium theatrum (Theatre of Insects), and was published in London in 1634. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © MIDDLE TEMPLE LIBRARY/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY

EDITORS COMMENTS

This 17th century artwork showcases the intricate world of bees and their beehive. Bees, known for their social nature, form colonies centered around a queen bee. In this woodcut from Thomas Muffet's book "Insectorum sive minimorum animalium theatrum" we are transported back in time to witness these industrious creatures at work. The image depicts a simple straw beehive, also known as a skep, which was commonly used during that era. The bees diligently gather nectar and pollen to nourish their larvae while simultaneously producing the golden elixir we know as honey. Beekeepers would harvest this precious substance with great care. This monochrome illustration not only captures the essence of these winged wonders but also serves as an important historical document in zoology and natural history. It offers us a glimpse into the fascinating world of insects and highlights the importance of bees in our ecosystem. As we marvel at this snapshot from centuries past, let us appreciate the delicate balance between humans and nature that has been maintained through practices such as apiculture or beekeeping. This remarkable piece by Thomas Muffet reminds us of the timeless beauty found within biology's smallest creatures – an ode to both artistry and scientific discovery.
