Metal Print : Worker honeybees
Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Worker honeybees
Worker honeybees, Apis mellifera filling the hexagonal chambers of a frame with honey made from nectar. The domesticated bee is given a frame with hexagonal foundations, several such frames forming a hive. The chambers are built up from wax secreted by the bee, filled with honey & capped again with wax (uncapped here). The keeper removes the frames in late summer to prevent the bees feeding on the honey over winter. He replaces it with syrup. Frames similar to these are used as breeding chambers where the queen lays her eggs. They are slotted into the bottom half of the hive & separated from the food storage frames by a divider

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases the intricate world of worker honeybees, Apis mellifera. The image captures these industrious creatures filling hexagonal chambers with golden honey, meticulously crafted from nectar. In this domesticated bee setup, a frame with hexagonal foundations is provided to the bees, forming a hive when several frames are combined. The remarkable chambers seen here are constructed by the bees themselves using wax secreted from their bodies. Once filled with delectable honey, they are carefully sealed once again with wax caps (as shown uncapped in this photograph). As late summer approaches, the keeper removes these precious frames to prevent the bees from consuming all their hard-earned honey during winter. Instead, syrup is provided as an alternative food source. These particular frames also serve as breeding chambers for the queen bee's eggs. Positioned in the bottom half of the hive and separated by a divider from food storage frames, they provide a safe space for new life to emerge. This awe-inspiring snapshot offers us a glimpse into nature's meticulous architecture and highlights the complex social structure within bee colonies. It reminds us of how vital these tiny insects are in pollination and honey production while showcasing their incredible ability to create perfect hexagonal structures through teamwork and instinctual behavior.
