Head of a honey bee, SEM
Head of a honey bee (Apis mellifera), coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM). The compound eyes (one seen) are either side of the antennae. Below these is the bees mouthparts, including its proboscis (light brown, lower left). Bees use their proboscis to collect nectar from a wide range of flowering plants, bringing it back to their hive to store it and form honey. The honey is used as food by bee larva, and is also collected by beekeepers for human consumption. Magnification: x25 when printed at 10 centimetres tall. Science Photo Library features Science and Medical images including photos and illustrations. © THOMAS DEERINCK, NCMIR/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate head of a honey bee, captured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors highlight the fascinating details of this tiny creature's anatomy. Positioned on either side of its antennae are the compound eyes, which provide the bee with an exceptional field of vision. Just below these remarkable eyes lie the essential mouthparts, including its proboscis – depicted in a light brown shade at the lower left corner. Bees rely on their proboscis to collect nectar from various flowering plants, diligently bringing it back to their hive for storage and honey production. This golden elixir serves as nourishment for both bee larvae and humans alike when harvested by dedicated beekeepers. The photograph's magnification allows us to appreciate these minute features at 25 times their actual size when printed at 10 centimeters tall. It offers a glimpse into the world of nature's smallest wonders and reminds us of the crucial role bees play in our ecosystem as pollinators. With its blend of artistry and scientific precision, this image is perfect for enthusiasts interested in nature, wildlife, zoology, entomology or simply captivated by insect anatomy.
