Bee on finger
Bee on finger. Numbered queen honeybee (Apis mellifera) resting on the tip of a researchers finger. The bee has been labelled so that it can be recognised during experiments investigating honeybee behaviour, such as their communication and navigation. The queen produces all of the worker and drone bees for a colony. Honeybees are economically important as pollinators of many of the worlds crops. Photographed at the University of Wurzburg, Germany

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable moment of scientific exploration and discovery. Here, we see a numbered queen honeybee delicately perched on the tip of a researcher's finger at the University of Wurzburg in Germany. The bee has been carefully labeled to facilitate experiments that delve into the intricate behavior of honeybees, including their communication and navigation abilities. As the sole producer of worker and drone bees within her colony, this queen holds immense significance in the world of apiculture. Honeybees play a vital role as pollinators for numerous crops worldwide, making them economically indispensable. The image showcases not only the beauty but also the importance of these social insects in our ecosystem. Through meticulous marking techniques employed by researchers, such as labeling and numbering, scientists can track individual bees during various biological experiments conducted in laboratories. Taken in 2003 by Science Photo Library at Wurzburg University, this photograph exemplifies how science intertwines with nature to unravel its mysteries. It serves as a powerful reminder that even small creatures like bees hold immense value and contribute significantly to our planet's biodiversity and food production systems.
