Honey bee head. Light micrograph (LM) of honeybee head showing tongue, antennae, and other anterior features. In the mouth parts the two darker brown upper appendages are the mandibles (jaws), which are used for handling objects and for communicating with other bees. At centre is the median labium, which with the maxillae (lighter brown lower appendages), forms the bee's proboscis, which is used to suck nectar from plants.
