Honeybees. Thermogram of honeybees (Apis mellifera) on honeycomb

Honeybees. Thermogram of honeybees (Apis mellifera) on honeycomb. The colours show variations in temperature. The scale runs from blue (coldest), through red, to yellow and white (warmest). Some bees are warmer than others because they are actively generating heat by vibrating their wings. This is necessary to warm developing larvae and pupae in the brood cells. Empty cells in the honeycomb help to trap heat and are therefore a necessary part of a honeycombs design. Thermography records the temperature of surfaces by detecting long- wavelength infrared radiation

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate world of honeybees in stunning detail. The thermogram captures a mesmerizing display of colors, representing variations in temperature among the bees. From the cool blues to fiery reds, and finally to vibrant yellows and whites, this visual spectacle reveals the fascinating behavior of these industrious insects. The image highlights how some bees generate heat by vibrating their wings, a crucial process for warming developing larvae and pupae within the brood cells. Empty cells strategically placed throughout the honeycomb serve as efficient heat traps, an essential aspect of its design. Through advanced thermography technology, we can witness this thermal dance unfold before our eyes. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this photograph offers valuable insights into bee anatomy and colony dynamics. It sheds light on their social structure and emphasizes their role as vital pollinators in our ecosystem. By utilizing infrared radiation detection techniques, scientists are able to record surface temperatures accurately. This remarkable snapshot is courtesy of Science Photo Library—an invaluable resource for scientific research across various fields such as zoology, entomology, and technology. As we delve deeper into understanding these incredible creatures' behaviors through cutting-edge technologies like thermography, we gain a greater appreciation for their complex lives within the hive.
