Early this year in Chelsea, Quebec, <a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.ottawacitizen.com\/2013\/11\/22\/sarah-hattons-honey-bee-art-a-statement-on-colony-collapse-disorder-thats-killing-hives\/\">two whole hives fill of bees died from frostbite<\/a>. The artist jumped at the chance to not let these bee deaths be in vain. Using thousands, yes thousands, of the dead bees, the artist creates geometric patterns, at times almost crop circle-esque, to display the enormity of the issue of CCD.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Patterns are also an important part of the bee\u2019s life. The geometric honeycombs produce food and places to nurture larvae, and the bees used an intricate pattern of \u2018dance\u2019 movements to search for crops and fields or pollinate. Some of the patterns are even specific to the life forces of the bees. The composition <em>Florid<\/em> (2013) uses the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.co.uk\/news\/archive\/2013-11\/21\/bee-art\">Fibonacci spiral that is seen in the pattern of a sunflower seed<\/a>, while <em>Circle 1<\/em> (2013) and <em>Circle 2<\/em> (2013) represent patterns typically found in crop circles. According to the artist \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.co.uk\/news\/archive\/2013-11\/21\/bee-art\">Both of these patterns have symbolic ties to agriculture, particularly the monoculture crop system that is having such a detrimental effect on bees<\/a>\u201d with the use of pesticides. The artist\u2019s work is a call to awareness of not only the importance of these little buzzing creatures in our lives, but also just how devastatingly damaging the destruction of two hives can be to the bee population.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/annapaluch\"><em>Anna Paluch<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>artandsciencejournal: The Bees of Sarah Hatton The work of Ottawa-based artist Sarah Hatton is a strong political piece, specifically raising awareness of the Colony Collapse Disorder (CCD) happening to honey populations worldwide.
