Bee mouthparts, light micrograph
Bee mouthparts, light micrograph. The two darker brown upper appendages are the mandibles (jaws), which are used for handling objects and for communicating with other bees. At centre is the median labium, which with the maxillae (lighter brown lower appendages), forms the bees proboscis, which is used to suck nectar from plants.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate mouthparts of a bee, captured under a light microscope. The image reveals fascinating details about the anatomy and functionality of these tiny creatures. At first glance, one can observe the two darker brown upper appendages known as mandibles or jaws. These mandibles serve multiple purposes for bees, including handling objects and communicating with fellow hive members. In the center of the image lies the median labium, which is surrounded by lighter brown lower appendages called maxillae. Together, they form what is commonly known as a proboscis - an elongated tube-like structure used by bees to extract nectar from flowers. This delicate proboscis enables them to access sweet sustenance in their natural habitat. Printed at 10 centimeters wide with an impressive magnification of x80, this photograph beautifully captures nature's intricate design on such a small scale. It serves as a reminder of how even seemingly insignificant organisms possess remarkable adaptations that contribute to our diverse ecosystem. With its focus on nature, animal life, and biology, this stunning micrograph provides valuable insights into entomology and zoology enthusiasts alike. Its scientific value combined with its aesthetic appeal makes it an ideal addition to any collection celebrating wildlife photography or educational displays on insect anatomy.
