Paintings of flight patterns of honeybees as they forage to and from their hives 

Scientists affixed transmitters to the backs of honeybees to determine how they orient themselves in the landscape and what factors affect their homing abilities.  These incredible creatures demonstrate exceptional abilities to learn and communicate.  The lifespan of a single bee may be only 6 weeks in the summer, yet these tiny, fleeting insects have a profound impact on the ecosystem.  The complexity of layered lines and colour patches in the artwork remind us that over time, the layers of different bee individuals overlap repeatedly to create an indispensable imprint on the survival of all species.
