"Beesting" - 2015 Size: 30" x 34" Medium: aluminum stop sign, aluminum, pine/ bass/ oak woods, oil paints SOLD
It seem's our beloved honeybee is under siege… toiling under forces both natural (mites, bacteria, fungus & viruses),
...and those man-made (the intrusion of technology: herbicides, large mono-culture industrial agriculture).
To the rescue is even more technology: Monsanto's efforts to tweak honeybee DNA molecules (RNAi) - to mite proof them.
… and even Harvard University's RoboBee project, an effort to create little mechanical pollinating drones.
Many beekeeper's suggest the best help, is less intrusion on all fronts.
