Jigsaw Puzzles from Science Photo Library
Honey bee on flower
Macro photograph of a honey bee, Apis mellifera, on the flower of the ox-eye chamomile, Anthemis tinctoria. The pollen basket, loaded with pollen to be taken to the hive, is visible on the bees knee. Its tongue is extended as if drinking nec- tar. While gathering pollen and nectar, the bee transfers pollen from the anther of one flower to the stigmatic surface of another. If compatible, fertilization and seed production follow. Magnification: X 1. 8 at 35mm size, X 3.6 at 6x7cm size

EDITORS COMMENTS
This macro photograph captures the intricate relationship between a honey bee and the ox-eye chamomile flower. The vibrant yellow petals of the flower provide a striking contrast to the black and yellow stripes of the bee's fuzzy body. As it delicately lands on the blossom, we can see its tongue extended, seemingly savoring every drop of nectar. But this interaction goes beyond mere indulgence; it is an essential part of nature's reproductive cycle. The pollen basket, prominently displayed on the bee's knee, serves as evidence that this diligent worker is collecting pollen to be taken back to its hive. In doing so, it unwittingly becomes a vital agent in pollination. With each visit to another flower, tiny grains of pollen are transferred from one plant's anther to another plant's stigmatic surface. This process allows for fertilization and subsequent seed production if compatible partners are involved. The magnification provided by this print reveals incredible details that would otherwise go unnoticed by our naked eyes. It reminds us of both the beauty and complexity found within our natural world – where even something as small as a honey bee plays an indispensable role in sustaining life for countless plants and organisms. This stunning image from Science Photo Library serves as a testament to the wonders of botany, pollination, and insect-borne reproduction – showcasing nature at its finest without any commercial intent or mention required.
