UC Davis Communications Specialist Kathy Keatley Garvey in the Department of Entomology took this amazing shot, capturing a honeybee stinging a man, with its abdominal tissue trailing behind. The photo won the first-place gold feature photo award in an Association for Communication Excellence competition.

Garvey has taken at least 1 million photos of honeybees in her lifetime and this seems to be the most amazing of them. “As far as I know, nobody’s been able to record anything like this,” Garvey added. She said the only time she’s seen it illustrated was in a textbook drawing.

The judges are still trying to determine how she was able to arrange the lighting, the camera, the wrist and the bee to get that good a shot. This was indeed an amazing shot that no man was ever able to take since the birth of photography, as it takes someone to be extremely professional and lucky enough.
