Zoologie: Soziale Faltenwespen (Vespidae): Hornisse (Vespa capro).

Die Hornisse ist die größte in Mitteleuropa lebende Faltenwespe. Die Königin gründet im Frühjahr allein ein Nest, indem sie die erste Wabe und den Beginn einer Schutzhülle aus einer papierartigen Masse aus zerkautem Holz fertigt. In diese Wabe legt sie befruchtete Eier, aus denen Larven schlüpfen, die sie selbst bis zur Verpuppung mit Insekten füttert. Aus diesen Larven entstehen Arbeiterinnen, die der Königin dann fast alle Arbeiten abnehmen. Im Herbst schlüpfen junge Königinnen und Männchen (Drohnen). Die Drohnen entstehen aus nicht befruchteten Eiern, haben also nur einen Satz Chromosomen. Allein die begatteten jungen Königinnen überwintern. Der Rest des Volkes stirbt spätestens beim ersten Nachtfrost. Das alte Nest wird im nächsten Jahr nicht wieder besiedelt.

Entgegen aller überlieferter Vorurteile ist die Hornisse kein gefährliches Insekt. Sie ist sehr friedfertig und nicht giftiger als andere Wespen oder auch Honigbienen. Ihr Stich wird allerdings aufgrund einer etwas anderen chemischen Zusammensetzung des Giftes als schmerzhafter empfunden.

Lamination

The term lamination stands for the bonding of foils with a firm base, one could also call it' mounting'. For the products in the' AluVerbund' category, a high-quality art print - a monthly sheet from the LifeSciences calendar - is mounted on a 3mm thick aluminium composite trunking material.

Lamination of carrier material

The art print is applied on the reverse side of a double-sided adhesive film. After the protective film has been pulled down, the art print is rolled' cold' onto the aluminium composite plate.

An extra stability of the plan is achieved by mounting the solid suspension profile on the bottom side of the picture facing the wall.

Art print

Example of a art print from LifeSciences calendar

The art prints used here are the remainder of our LifeSciences Calendar (Hidden Worlds) published in the years 2002 to 2017.
The image motif was created by the renowned, internationally acclaimed science photographers Oliver Meckes and Nicole Ottawa (eye of science) on the company's own screen, Oliver Meckes and Nicole Ottawa (eye of science).

We have carefully separated out the particularly high-quality printed monthly newspapers and prepared them for use by lamination. The surface of the art print is coated with special UV spot varnish. This gives the pictures a special brilliance. Because the product already looks very noble, we have refrained from adding an additional cover, such as acrylic.

AluDibond: Dibond® is a brand for a rigid sandwich material. The brand is owned by the manufacturer 3A Composites.
Dibond® consists of two 0.3 mm thick aluminium plates thermally bonded with a polyethylene core. Dibond is correspondingly lighter than aluminium.
FirstBond GbR from Schleswig-Holstein (Germany) has developed a' imitator' product with similar properties under the name' FirstBond', which is used in our aluminium composite products.
