Ribs of the Saguaro



Like everything else in this world, saguaros will eventually die. This saguaro was killed by a colony of bees that made their hive in the heart of the saguaro. Over time the structural integrity of the cactus was weakened, forcing the top of the saguaro to collapse and kill the cactus. After decomposition, only the ribs of the saguaro remain.
