Description: Honey is a natural product of the honeybee's biology, created from floral nectar that is enzymatically processed and concentrated by the bees. Its sweetness comes from the mixture of two simple sugars, fructose and glucose, both of which are depicted here (top and bottom respectively). Its acidity and lack of moisture are among the factors that contribute to its almost-indefinite shelf life, as microorganisms are unable to grow in it.
Description: Black and white ink illustration of a praying mantis. I created this drawing using a stippling technique, this illustration is comprised of thousands of tiny dots drawn with a fine nib pen. Praying mantis is the common name for a group of insects called Mantises or Mantodea which are found worldwide although most are found in tropical habitats. These bugs are commonly kept as pets.
