Honey bees on a beehive
Honey bees (Apis mellifera) on a beehive. These bees create honeycombs using wax, and fill the honeycomb chambers with honey, using nectar obtained from flowers, and capped with wax. A beehive is a structure built by a beekeeper, who removes the honeycombs and harvests the honey in them. Because bees store honey to provide food over winter, the bee keeper replaces it with syrup for the bees to feed upon. Photographed in the Novgorod region of Russia

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate world of honey bees on a beehive in the Novgorod region of Russia. The industrious bees are seen diligently creating honeycombs using their own wax, showcasing their remarkable architectural skills. These hexagonal chambers serve as storage units for the precious golden nectar they collect from flowers. The process depicted in this image highlights the meticulous work undertaken by these incredible insects. With unwavering dedication, they fill each chamber with sweet honey, ensuring an ample food supply for themselves and their colony during winter months when resources are scarce. A beekeeper's role is essential in this delicate ecosystem. They carefully remove the honeycombs from the hive to harvest its liquid gold while providing sustenance to the bees by replacing it with syrup. This symbiotic relationship between humans and nature allows us to enjoy one of nature's most delectable gifts - pure, natural honey. The photograph not only showcases the fascinating behavior of these buzzing creatures but also serves as a reminder of our responsibility towards protecting and nurturing them. As vital pollinators, honey bees play a crucial role in maintaining biodiversity and sustaining our ecosystems. Through this stunning visual depiction captured by Science Photo Library, we are invited into a mesmerizing world where tiny creatures create something so extraordinary – a testament to both their resilience and importance within our natural environment.
