Bee close-ups

Posted by Jeremy Marr On May - 19 - 2010

Amazing photos of bees close-up. Rose-Lynn Fisher took the photos with a scanning electron microscope.

The first time I looked at a bee’s eye magnified I was amazed to see a field of hexagons, just like honeycomb. I wondered, is this a coincidence or a clue? Is it simply that hexagons are ubiquitous in nature, or is there a deeper correspondence between the structure of the bee’s vision and the structure she builds – in other words, similar frequencies being expressed in similar form?
