Unhealthy Honey Bee Frame

Gigapan Image by Mike Andree
This image captures a comb of brood from a diseased honey bee colony in a way not previously available to the general public. For those new to beekeeping, or apprehensive about opening up a hive, this panorama, and others like it, can be used to teach beekeepers disease identification and bee biology.
Taking images of the honey bee frames provide a unique and interactive tool by which bee biology and brood disease identification could be delivered. On this frame there are many examples of both healthy and unhealthy brood, and properly tagged individual diseased larvae can serve as a revolutionary educational tool.
