California photographer Krystle Hickman is documenting over 300 native bee species across Southern California, capturing them alive in their natural habitats without using traditional collection methods.
Though untrained in science, her detailed photography has contributed to research supported by the University of California, Irvine, and National Geographic, including the first live images of at least 20 species and efforts to locate lost bees like Franklin’s bumblebee.
