| A giant honey bee foraging on flowers of a willow (Salix spp, Salicaceae). The camera was almost seeing the bee totally from the underside. Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, China. April 2002. | |||||||||||||||||

From: ysybee12@aol.com (Jul 27, 2004 21:47 EDT) What are the white markings on the underside of the honeybee's abdomen? Are they where the wax comes from? Is the white stuff wax?

From: Zach (Apr 01, 2005 09:59 EST) No, these are just the white bands on the abdomen (also on the dorsal side, but for some reason darker). Foragers usually no longer can secret wax. [add comment] | |
