Honey bees on a beehive and honeycombs
Honey bees (Apis mellifera) on a beehive and honeycombs. The chambers in a honeycomb are created using wax secreted by the bees. The chambers are then filled with honey, using nectar obtained from flowers, and capped with wax. These honeycombs are part of a beehive, a structure built by a beekeeper who removes 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 showcases the intricate world of honey bees on a beehive and honeycombs. The image captures the remarkable process of how these industrious insects create their homes and store food for survival. Each chamber in the honeycomb is meticulously crafted using wax secreted by the bees themselves, serving as a testament to their exceptional abilities. The honeycombs depicted in this photograph are not only visually stunning but also hold great significance for both bees and beekeepers alike. Filled with golden nectar obtained from flowers, these chambers are then sealed with wax caps, preserving nature's sweetest treasure - honey. Located in the picturesque Novgorod region of Russia, this snapshot offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of these tiny creatures that play an essential role in our ecosystem. Beekeepers carefully tend to these hives, removing honeycombs to harvest the precious liquid gold within. As winter approaches, bees rely on stored honey as their primary source of sustenance. To ensure their well-being during colder months, beekeepers replace harvested combs with syrup for them to feed upon. This awe-inspiring image reminds us of nature's wonders and highlights the delicate balance between humans and wildlife. It serves as a reminder that we must cherish and protect these incredible creatures who tirelessly work to provide us with one of life's greatest pleasures - pure, natural honey.
