Beskrivning:

Meliplebeia beccarii. This is a tiny little stingless colonial bee from Kruger National Park. So small and ubiquitous on tree flowers that we called them "bee dust". Found on an expedition with Jonathan Mawdsley and James Harrison. One of the many creatures that make up the trillions and trillions of pollinators that work for free. We are so lucky.

USGSBIML Photoshopping Technique: Note that we now have added using the burn tool at 50% opacity set to shadows to clean up the halos that bleed into the black background from "hot" color sections of the picture. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bdmx_8zqvN4" rel="nofollow">www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bdmx_8zqvN4</a>
