The Rooftop Beekeeper – part 2 

The second and eagerly awaited follow up to Tim Vivian’s talk about his triumphs and tribulations of keeping bees on the roof tops of Birmingham’s city centre buildings.

In Tim’s previous talk, he left us with a teaser of what was to come in part two… This was a black and white slide of an image of a bees head as shown through an electron microscope.

Tim has an abundance of slides showing various interesting features of the honeybee including several of bees legs!  (without going through the name of all the segments!) It’s a fascinating talk as many people have never seen a bee’s body under a microscope (and just as fascinating if you have!)  Tim will also include some work he has done trying to replicate what a honey bee sees through her compound eye.
