Close up view of a 3D-printed insect specimen manipulator on a white background. The manipulator is all black except the two rotating knobs and the foam filled socket for holding the insect are yellow. There is a pinned queen of the rusty patched bumble bee, Bombus affinis in stuck in the foam.

I decided to print a dedicated tool for holding bees while viewing through a microscope.

A bee-spoke manipulator, if you will...
