Perhaps a more industrious insect than bee, you will not find on the whole planet. It turns out that these hard workers not only produce a lot of honey, but they can also "Art restorers" to be. True, this fact of apiology (the science of bees) is not known, but Canadian artist Aganetha Dyck knows this and actively uses it in his work.
There are so many ways of self-expression that contemporary artists do not find in order to realize their full creative potential! Sculptures made of tires, shards and other debris have long been a surprise, but honeycombs have not been seen in the service of art before.
Aganetha Dyck, without further ado, came up with a wonderful way to create unusual sculptures: the artist buys used figurines, which have obvious defects, and gives them to bees for "restoration". In her opinion, honey bees are very meticulous creatures who constantly strive to fix any flaws in the product. In order to make the figurines more attractive to the bees, Aganetha Dyck first treats them with wax, honey or propolis and then places them in the hives. Of course, in the course of the "creative" process, the artist makes certain adjustments, but, in general, honey sculptors have complete freedom of action.
All experiments of Aganetha Dyck are carried out under the guidance of experienced beekeepers, and even scientists are interested in extraordinary honey sculptures. The main problem of many modern scientific research is the disappearance of this species of insects, so the work of Aganetha Dyck is aimed, first of all, at telling the general public about the extraordinary abilities of bees. By the way, the friendship of these insects with people is worried not only in Canada, but also in the Celestial Empire, where they even managed to hold a Championship to attract bees!
