The Seduction of the Honeybee
As beautiful as flowers appear to the human eye, their sensual display is designed to seduce pollinators — the majority of which are bees — to fulfil their primary purpose of reproduction. Here photographer Craig P. Burrows bathes flowers in ultraviolet light — the same part of the spectrum that makes bee vision special – so we can peek into their world and explore the power of nature, and the extraordinary role the honeybee plays in the future vitality, immunity and longevity of humankind.
