Bee and wasp nests, artwork
Bee and wasp nests. Computer artwork showing the structures of a honeybee nest (left) and a social wasp nest (right). The honeybee nest is built from multiple wax honeycombs (hexagonal) that are used to store food and house eggs and larvae. The wasp nest is made from wood that has been chewed and mixed with saliva and wax to form a paste. The queen wasp starts the construction, building a few cells and filling them with eggs. When there are sufficient numbers of worker wasps they take over construction from the queen. Cells are built in tiers

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate structures of both a honeybee nest and a social wasp nest, beautifully depicted through computer artwork. On the left side, we see the honeybee nest constructed with multiple wax honeycombs in a mesmerizing hexagonal pattern. These combs serve as storage units for food and provide shelter to eggs and larvae, highlighting the remarkable organization within bee colonies. On the right side, we are presented with an equally fascinating sight - a social wasp nest made from chewed wood mixed with saliva and wax. The queen wasp initiates this construction by building a few cells and filling them with eggs. As worker wasps mature, they take over the construction process from their queen, resulting in tiered cells that form an impressive structure. The white background accentuates these natural wonders while allowing us to focus solely on their intricate details. This illustration provides valuable insight into the biology of bees and wasps, showcasing how different materials are utilized to create unique nests tailored to each species' needs. With its cut-out style presentation, this artwork offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate these complex creations up close. It serves as a testament to nature's ingenuity while also reminding us of our fascination with entomology – exploring the hidden world of insects that surround us every day.
