Bee mite, SEM
Bee mite. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of a bee mite on a bee. Some bee mite species feed by cutting into the surface membranes of the bee. Mites are arachnids (8-legged) and are hence related to ticks and spiders. In large numbers they can devastate colonies of bees, which is of particular concern since bees are often agriculturally very important: as both pollinators and honey producers

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of bee mites, as captured through a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The image reveals a close-up view of a bee mite perched on the body of a bee. With its vibrant colors and detailed structure, this photograph offers an insight into the hidden realm of these tiny arachnids. Bee mites belong to the same family as ticks and spiders, making them fascinating creatures in their own right. Some species of these eight-legged pests survive by cutting into the surface membranes of bees. However, when present in large numbers, they can wreak havoc on entire colonies, posing a significant threat to both honey production and pollination - roles that bees play crucially in agriculture. The importance of this image lies not only in its aesthetic appeal but also in raising awareness about the harmful impact that infestations can have on our precious pollinators. By shedding light on this often unseen aspect of nature's delicate balance, it serves as a reminder to protect and preserve these vital ecosystems. Science Photo Library has masterfully captured this moment using advanced microscopy techniques while employing false coloring to enhance visibility. This remarkable piece invites us into the mesmerizing world where biology meets artistry – showcasing both beauty and scientific significance simultaneously.
