Ingo Arndt's photographs reveal the fascinating life of the wild honeybee as never before. With the help of leading bee researchers, Ingo has spent several years exploring the complex behaviour of forest-dwelling honeybees. His dramatic images take us inside the hive of wild honeybees, to reveal a robust and responsive insect, able to repel attacks and to adapt to a changing environment.
