EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration, titled "The Honey Bees Nest in an Ant Hill" is a sketch from the extensive collection of original drawings by Thomas Baines, created in October 1870 during his expedition to the Seba que River in South Africa. The drawing, labeled as Sketch 53, offers a fascinating glimpse into the natural world of the late 19th century. The illustration showcases an intriguing juxtaposition of two seemingly unrelated inhabitants of the natural world: honey bees and ants. The bees, members of the Apidae family, are depicted busily tending to their honeycombs nestled within the intricate tunnels of an ant hill. The ants, belonging to the Formicidae family, are shown going about their daily business, oblivious to the presence of their honey-loving neighbors. Thomas Baines, a prolific English artist and explorer, captured this scene with remarkable detail and precision. The illustration provides a unique insight into the natural history of the region, showcasing the symbiotic relationship between these two distinct arthropod groups. The honey bees, Apis mellifera, were likely attracted to the ant hill for its protective cover and the ants, as part of the Hymenoptera order, provided the bees with a source of food in the form of insects. This illustration is a testament to the rich biodiversity of the world during the 1800s and the importance of exploration and documentation in advancing our understanding of the natural world. The intricate details of the honeycombs, the industrious bees, and the complex ant hill provide a window into the lives of these fascinating creatures, offering a glimpse into their daily routines and social structures.
