Bee anatomy, artwork
Bee anatomy. Computer artwork showing the internal anatomy of a honeybee (Apis mellifera). Nerve fibres are blue. The wings are attached to the thorax. In the thorax are the wing muscles (pink) and oesophagus (orange). An air sac is at top left of the thorax. At the start of the abdomen is the crop (orange), an expanded area of the gut used to store nectar. The stomach and intestines are beige. At the base of the abdomen is the sting (red) and its poison sac (green). The aorta (main blood vessel, red) runs along the top of the abdomen. The pollen basket on the hind leg is yellow. At top right is honeycomb, with some chambers containing pupa and some honey

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate and fascinating world of bee anatomy. Through computer artwork, we are granted a glimpse into the internal structure of a honeybee (Apis mellifera). The attention to detail is remarkable, with nerve fibres depicted in vibrant blue, drawing our eyes towards the delicate wings attached to the thorax. The thorax itself reveals an array of vital components: pink wing muscles responsible for graceful flight, and an orange oesophagus facilitating nourishment. Positioned at the top left of the thorax is an air sac, essential for respiration. Moving down to the abdomen, we encounter a prominent crop - an expanded gut area designed specifically for storing nectar. Further exploration uncovers beige stomach and intestines that play crucial roles in digestion. At the base of this segment lies a striking red sting accompanied by its green poison sac. Alongside it runs the main blood vessel or aorta painted in vivid red hues. Intriguingly, this artwork also includes additional elements such as honeycomb structures housing pupae and reserves of golden honey. A yellow pollen basket adorns one hind leg while showcasing nature's ingenious design. Overall, this illustration not only highlights bee anatomy but also emphasizes their social organization and biological functions within their ecosystem. It serves as a testament to both scientific curiosity and artistic expression through its meticulous portrayal of these incredible creatures' inner workings.
