Bee Time

Bee Time artist residency explores the intersection of art and ecology. Their programs focus on researching the interrelationships between beekeeper, bee and landscape in a particular region, thus studying the influences of local culture and agriculture practices on the honeybee and vice versa. They introduce participants to concepts of bee centred beekeeping, and applied systems thinking. Working out of the understanding of the honeybee colony as a super-organism – a being with many individual bees comprising a unified consciousness, participants have the opportunity to practice self-organising social models inspired by hive consciousness by working together in a non hierarchical way.
