Summary
| Description |
Afrikaans: 'n Raam uit 'n byekorf in Nieu-Seeland wat die algemene konsentriese uitleg aandui waarop dit deur bye benut word. In die middel, waar die bye die beste omgewingstoestande kan handhaaf, is die broeiselle wat bababye bevat. Hierdie selle is bruin en swart. Die bruines is bedekte selle met bye wat op die punt staan om te verskyn. Die swart selle is leeg aangesien die bye onlangs daar te voorskyn gekom het. Die koningin het pas eiers (wit kolletjies) in baie van dié selle gelê om die volgende generasie voort te bring. Die volgende ring na buite is met stuifmeel gevul. Dit is van verskillende kleure, maar in hierdie geval oorwegend oranje. Hierdie selle is onbedek wat hul seshoekstruktuur uitlig. Na buite volg dan die heuningstoorarea, en dit word beste aan die regterkant van die prent gesien. Sommige van hierdie selle is nog oop, en die glinster van heuning is opvallend. Sommige bye het hul koppe in hierdie selle en suig heuning op, minstens ten dele 'n paniekreaksie op die rook en oopmaak van die korf. Sommige heuningselle kry 'n deksel van was, en hierdie selle toon 'n kenmerkende variasie in oppervlaktekstuur. Namate die bygetalle toeneem, herverdeel hulle die selle vir verskillende aanwendings. Op die agtergrond is die swart plastieksubstraat, waarop 'n seshoekige beginpatroon afgedruk is.
English: A frame from a beehive in New Zealand, showing the common radial layout which the bees employ in using the frame. In the center, where the bees can best maintain environmental conditions, are the brood cells containing baby bees. These cells are brown and black. The brown ones are capped cells with bees just about to emerge. The black cells are empty since the bees have recently emerged. The queen has just laid eggs (white dots) in many of these cells, to raise the next generation. The next ring outward is pollen. This is of various colours, typically orange in this case. These cells are not capped, so their hexagon structure is visible. Outside of that again is the honey storage area. This is most easily seen on the right side of the image. Some of these cells are still open, and the glistening of the honey is evident. Some bees have their heads down in the cells loading up on honey (this is at least partly a panic reaction to the smoke and opening of the hive). Some honey cells are closed over with wax (capped), and these cells have a characteristic variability of surface texture. As the bees grow in numbers they reallocate the cells to different uses. In the background is the plastic substrate, which is preformed with hexagons as a starting pattern. |
