Found this on my travels this evening http://honeybee.drawwing.org
Contains lots of illustrations and a few photos of honey bee anatomy (and a few other things besides).
Lots of stuff along this sort of line:

Funnily enough it's gone straight in my bookmarks.

Very nice. The site has changed a lot since I was last there.

I'm familiar with Tofilski's other site http://www.drawwing.org which has almost the same address. I wonder if you are getting the 2 sites mixed up Gavin. Thanks Nellie for pointing out the new one.

I did wonder when I saw the address whether it was related to drawwing but it was getting late so I didn't dig any further.

It's getting near to that morphometry time of year.
I can hear the gentle murmuring of all the nerds and trainspotters.
I have the progeny of about 30 new queens to check.

Mars Inc best ramp up production for the coming season.
Yup, I was mixing the two sites. Befuddled again.

Module 5
Our study group is run by a retired RBI and one of his favourite sayings is mod 3 & 5 really should be studied together so that it all ties in. He reckons they're easier to grasp if you know which bits which diseases affect.

I passed mod 5 in March and it is hard, esp. if like me you have no scientific background.
I find Snodgrass of little use. All the drawings are on a different page then you have to refer to a third page for the legend.
I used Dade, Yates (latest edition) Davis (very good) and Mark Winston's "The Biology of the Honeybee" which I also think is good. If you really want to push the boat out Lesley Goodman's "Form and Function in the Honeybee" is nice.
I also picked up a new book at the honey show called "Understanding Bee Anatomy" by Ian Stell. Some very good coloured illustrations.
With the chance to take exams twice per year I only take one per session. I find the higher the number the harder they are.
I thought the Mod 5 paper in March was particularly difficult.
I thought the Bucks notes were a bit weak for Mod 5.

Thanks for the book references BC. I've been looking online for info on the Digestive system & besides diagrams, there's not much that tells you what each part does unless I'm missing them. This could be more a book based module?

Had a look through Understanding Bee Anatomy the other night (deliberately linking to IBRA rather than amazon, it costs the same but the proceeds got to bee research rather than tax avoidance ;)). Looks ideal for module 5 revision and fascinating even if not.
