Great new article on how bees are protecting themselves in their hives from pesticides. They know when pollen is contaminated with pesticides ad seal off their hive cells. Smarter than us.

My work explores landscape and colonisation in a contemporary context and investigates ideas of place. Through a rather cursory investigation into swarm intelligence I discovered bees, which throughout history have been seen as an example of the kind of utopian existence that has eluded us as a species. The Bee Project is a long term project that looks at these issues through a variety of art practices including exhibition, performance, and 'social sculpture' as defined by Joseph Beuys.
