This is a vintage illustration of a honey bee's tongue, presented as a detailed anatomical study. The image is a black and white drawing, likely from a scientific or educational publication. The bee's tongue is the central focus, depicted as a complex structure with multiple elongated, segmented parts radiating outwards. These parts are dark, contrasting against the off-white background. The tongue appears to be unfurled, showcasing its length and intricate design. At the base of the tongue, there's a darker, more compact section, presumably where it connects to the bee's head. The illustration is highly detailed, with visible textures and segments on the tongue. Below the image, there's text that reads 'FIG. 22' and 'TONGUE OF HONEY BEE.' Additionally, 'x 20' indicates that the illustration is a magnification of 20 times the actual size. The overall style is reminiscent of vintage scientific illustrations, emphasizing accuracy and detail over artistic flair.
