This quick video shows how reflected UV, blue+green, and #UVIVF combine in my simulation of how bees might perceive a sunflower. No one of these alone gives the whole picture, and even with all three combined there remains considerable nuance to what really is #beevision

I have spent a lot of time recently trying to get this right but at last I'm happy with it and sharing. This is a 1,240 megapixel micrograph of a flattened Clarkia unguiculata bloom fluorescing under a UV light.

Check out those crazy pollen grains around 150μm wide!

This subject, a California native poppy species, is one of the most demonstrative examples responding within seconds to the ultraviolet light. My photos kept coming out blurry and I recorded this video to verify my theory.

The video is at 450% speed to exaggerate the effect.

Just a little time lapse made from thumbnails from a day trip last week. Doing explorations for a project and I liked how the frames looked when I scrolled through fast.

Hope you're all doing great!

Hello! I've made it to bluesky. I never liked Twitter but we'll give this a go!

Starting with Sarcodes sanguinea, aka Snow Plant fungal parasite associated with conifers.

Recorded in UVIVF, I hypothesize that the blue fluorescence is intended to attract bees!
