EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate details of a honey bee's head, captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The vibrant colors bring to life the fascinating anatomy of this industrious insect. Positioned on either side of the antennae are the compound eyes, which appear dark and mesmerizing against the black background. Below them lies the proboscis, a specialized mouthpart that plays a crucial role in collecting nectar from various flowering plants. Bees utilize their proboscis to gather nectar, returning it to their hive where it is transformed into golden honey. This precious substance serves as nourishment for bee larvae and is also harvested by beekeepers for human consumption. The magnification level of x10 allows us to appreciate every minute detail when printed at 10 centimeters wide. Thomas Deerinck, an accomplished photographer, has skillfully captured this moment in nature's tapestry. His work not only highlights the beauty of these tiny creatures but also provides valuable insights into their biology and behavior. This image invites us to marvel at the wonders found within our natural world while reminding us of the vital role bees play in pollination and honey production.
