Apiculture: Bees and The Art of Pollinatio
From prehistoric times to the present day, humans have felt a mysterious connection to bees, delighted by their honey and fascinated by their communal behaviour and ecological function.
The enduring importance of the bee in human consciousness is reflected in the art, architecture and archaeology of most major cultures throughout history.
But bees are in trouble. As the scale of recent worldwide bee losses unfolds, Apiculture: Bees and the Art of Pollination, re-evaluates our ancient relationship to, and reliance upon pollinating insects through the eyes of ten contemporary artists, including Bill Woodrow, Susan Derges, Tessa Farmer, Amy Shelton, and Thomas Thwaites.
