EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored copperplate engraving, titled "Metamorphosis of Honey Bees, Honeycomb, Queens, Drones and Chain of Worker Bees," is an exquisite illustration from Friedrich Johann Bertuch's "Bilderbuch fur Kinder" (Picture Book for Children), published in Weimar in 1792. The image provides a fascinating glimpse into the natural history of honey bees, showcasing the various stages of their life cycle. At the center of the illustration, a honeycomb is depicted in intricate detail, with its hexagonal cells filled with honey and capped with wax. The metamorphosis of the honey bee is illustrated in a series of vignettes surrounding the honeycomb. A caterpillar transforms into a pupa, which then develops into an adult bee. The queen bee, easily recognizable by her larger size and the absence of wings, is shown laying eggs in the honeycomb. Drones, the male bees, are depicted with their large, bulbous bodies and wings folded behind them. A chain of worker bees, with their striped bodies and distinctive yellow and black markings, can be seen carrying pollen back to the hive. This illustration not only serves as a beautiful work of art but also functions as an educational tool, providing children with a glimpse into the complex world of honey bees and their intricate social structure. The use of hand-coloring adds an additional layer of detail and vibrancy to the image, making it a captivating and engaging representation of the natural world.
