Bee flight simulator
Bee flight simulator. Honeybee (Apis mellifera) tethered in a flight simulator. The panel of green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) produces a virtual world in which the bee can navigate. It is presented with visual and olfactory stimuli, and its responses are measured according to the forces it exerts on the mount. Honeybees are economically important as pollinators of many of the worlds crops. Photographed at the University of Ulm, Germany in 2003

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a groundbreaking scientific experiment conducted at the University of Ulm in Germany back in 2003. In this image, we see a honeybee (Apis mellifera) tethered within a flight simulator, surrounded by a panel of vibrant green light-emitting diodes (LEDs). These LEDs create an immersive virtual world for the bee to navigate through, offering both visual and olfactory stimuli. The purpose of this innovative research was to study the navigation abilities and responses of honeybees when presented with various environmental cues. By measuring the forces exerted by the bee on its mount, scientists could gain valuable insights into how these incredible social insects perceive their surroundings and make decisions while flying. Honeybees are not only fascinating creatures but also play a crucial role as pollinators for numerous crops worldwide. Understanding their behavior and capabilities is essential for ensuring effective crop pollination and maintaining global food security. This photograph captures the intersection between biology, technology, and experimentation. It symbolizes humanity's relentless pursuit of knowledge and our ability to harness technological advancements to unravel nature's mysteries. The intricate equipment showcased here represents years of scientific progress aimed at unlocking the secrets behind one of nature's most efficient navigational systems – that of bees.
