EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite handcoloured steel engraving, created by Pfitzer after an original illustration by Adolph Fries for the "Dictionnaire Pittoresque d'Histoire Naturelle" (Picturesque Dictionary of Natural History) published in Paris between 1834 and 1839, captures the intriguing interaction between three distinct creatures of the natural world: a Cuckoo Bee (Melecta albifrons), a European Larch Tree (Larix decidua), and a Stingless Melipona Honey Bee (Melipona favosa). The European Larch Tree, depicted in all its majesty, stands tall against a backdrop of lush greenery. Its cones, bursting with seeds, hang heavy from its branches, ready to be dispersed by the wind. The tree's deciduous nature is evident in the shedding of its needles, a common characteristic of larch trees. Perched on the tree's bark is the Cuckoo Bee, Melecta albifrons. This fascinating insect is a cuckoo bee, meaning it lays its eggs in the nests of other bee species. The cuckoo bee is shown with its long, slender body and distinctive yellow and black stripes. Its wings are spread wide, suggesting it is about to take flight. At the base of the tree, a Stingless Melipona Honey Bee, Melipona favosa, is hard at work. This tiny, stingless bee is known for its social structure and unique method of producing honey. It is shown collecting nectar from a nearby flower, carrying it back to its hive to feed its colony. This image not only showcases the beauty of these three creatures but also highlights the intricate relationships that exist within the natural world.
