The Alluring and Alien Sights of a Bee in Ultra Close-up

My previous post touched on the difference between looking at something with a high speed camera, and how different things can look compared to the naked eye. This set of images provides us with a similar contrast, but this time dealing with magnification. These fantastic closeups give us a completely fresh impression of a bee’s appearance, and thus provide educational opportunities not only in relation to bee anatomy, but also into our own role as observers of things around us.
