Hi members, I am very much into microscopy as I find this helps me understand the functionand form of the Honey Bee. I also test for diseases as I have te required licience. The workings of the internal organs are of great interest to me as it shows how the bee lives and eats etc. I would like to show you a small presentation on the internal organs of the bee. If you have any questions please ask away. Regards;
All I can say is, Bcrazy is a long ways from being crazy. That is a fantastic presentation and I'm sure will be used by many. THANK YOU
Hi ski, The licience is to allow me to handle Foul Brood frames, for whatever purpose I need them. I use them to show members what AFB & EFB look like on a frame, also other diseases such as sac brood, chalk brood, and all the other diseases that bees suffer. As when I have finished using them I have to burn them so no disease is spread. Another side to microscpy is pollen identification which is helpful to know what plants the bees are feeding on. Bee Catcher & ski thank you for those kind and encouraging words. Regards;
bcrazy love them photos I use a microscope,as I teach I need to print copy's of your photos Don :goodpost: :goodpost: :coolphotos: :yahoo: .
Oooh, that's cool! :coolphotos: side note: you have a typo-haemolmph (bee blood) should be hemolymph. :thumbsup:
Love this section. As a vet tech I look at things all the time under the microscope so it was facinating. I might have to do some bee research of my own. Does anyone know if there is a pollen guide I can use as a reference?
pm Bcrazy, he had several pics of pollen under the microscope and it was identified. he only comes on here every now and then but is very friendly and knowledgeable.
