The bee is ready for its close-up.

For the remarkable new book BEE from Princeton Architectural Press, photographer Rose-Lynn Fisher used a high-resolution scanning electron microscope to reveal the gorgeous complexities of honeybee anatomy. Fisher writes that the microscope "presents a realm of structure, design, and pattern at a level of intricacy we are oblivious to in our daily experience."

At magnifications ranging from 10x to 5000x, the photographs reveal amazing details of the honeybee's features, down to the hairs that protrude from its compound eyes and the tiny hooks that hold its wings together.
