STING is made from real-world microscopic images of the anatomy of a honeybee. For example, the ‘tail’ is made from a honeybee’s tongue.
• a mass of bees (up to 500) vibrating together can kill an intruder by heating it to death
• one pound of honey = 556 worker bees = 2 million flowers
• pollinators such as bees, birds and bats affect 35% of the world’s food crop production
• bees have existed for 30 million years
