Close-up of honey bees (Apis mellifera)
Honey bees. Close-up of honey bees (Apis mellifera). Most honey bees are workers which construct, maintain and defend the nest, take care of the larvae and gather food. Bees eat pollen, nectar and honey. The workers produce honey, a rich sugar solution used to feed the young, by converting ingested nectar in special sacs in their gut. Honey bees originated in southern Asia, but they have now been introduced throughout the world. They are highly social insects and are kept by humans for their honey which they store in honeycomb, hexagonal cells of secreted wax

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a close-up view of honey bees (Apis mellifera), offering a glimpse into the intricate world of these remarkable insects. The image beautifully captures the essence of these hardworking creatures, known for their crucial role in pollination and honey production. Honey bees are primarily workers, diligently constructing, maintaining, and defending their nests while tending to the larvae and gathering food. Their diet consists of pollen, nectar, and the golden treasure we know as honey. Interestingly, these industrious workers produce this delectable substance by converting ingested nectar into a rich sugar solution within special sacs in their gut. Originating from southern Asia, honey bees have now spread across the globe due to human intervention. Highly social beings with complex societies, they are often kept by humans for their valuable honey stores stored within hexagonal cells made of secreted wax called honeycombs. This mesmerizing photograph not only highlights the beauty found in nature but also serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness with wildlife. As we marvel at this snapshot capturing an intimate moment between these buzzing insects, let us appreciate the vital role they play in sustaining ecosystems worldwide.
