Honeybee Lifecycle Plastomount
Honeybee Lifecycle Plastomount (Product Code: SLE/EZ/27) is a labelled set of real honeybee specimens embedded in an acrylic block, used to teach complete metamorphosis and bee biology in school and college zoology classes. It shows the egg, larva, pupa, worker, drone and adult forms, together with samples of honeycomb, beeswax and honey, in a 140 x 64 x 18 mm block weighing 190 g. It is supplied by Jain Scientific Equipments Pvt Ltd (ScienceLab), Ambala, India.

What Is the Honeybee Lifecycle Plastomount Used For?
The honeybee passes through four distinct stages — egg, larva, pupa and adult — and this block lets students see all of them side by side, which makes complete metamorphosis far easier to grasp than from a diagram. Including both worker and drone adults opens a discussion of the division of labour in a colony, while the comb, wax and honey samples link the biology to apiculture and the economic importance of bees, a topic in many Indian zoology syllabi.
Because the specimens are sealed in acrylic, the block can be handed round a class, placed under a hand lens or set out at a practical station without risk of damage to the insects. Wipe it with a soft, damp cloth, avoid solvents that can cloud acrylic, and keep it out of long exposure to strong sunlight. It is a durable lab specimen for biology teaching that lasts through many batches of students.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which stages are shown in the Honeybee Lifecycle Plastomount?
The Honeybee Lifecycle Plastomount shows the egg, larva, pupa, worker, drone and adult forms of the honeybee in a labelled set. Samples of honeycomb, beeswax and honey are included in the same acrylic block.
What size is the Honeybee Lifecycle Plastomount?
The Honeybee Lifecycle Plastomount measures 140 x 64 x 18 mm and weighs 190 g. The compact block fits comfortably in one hand and stores easily in a specimen drawer.
Are the specimens in the Honeybee Lifecycle Plastomount real?
Yes, the Honeybee Lifecycle Plastomount holds real specimens encased in an acrylic block, which protects them from decay and handling damage. Small natural differences between blocks are normal.
Can students handle the Honeybee Lifecycle Plastomount?
Yes. The Honeybee Lifecycle Plastomount is sealed in acrylic listed as unbreakable, so students can hold it and view it through a hand lens. Avoid dropping it on hard floors and clean it with a soft, damp cloth only.
What does the Honeybee Lifecycle Plastomount teach about metamorphosis?
The Honeybee Lifecycle Plastomount shows complete metamorphosis, where a larva turns into an adult through a pupal stage. Setting it beside a grasshopper life cycle helps students compare complete and incomplete metamorphosis.
