We Made A Bee Out Of Fruits And Vegetables To Raise Awareness About Bee Extinction

ADVERTISEMENT

I’m Jolita Vaitkute, young food artist from Lithuania. I’m working with photographer Emilija Vinzanovaite. We made a prospective composition of fruits hanging in the air. We spent 10 hours to make it happen.

Nowadays honeybees are faced with a bunch of factors threatening a survival of these honey-producing insects. For example, various pests, pathogens, toxic chemicals (pesticides), loss of habitats and varroa mites (Varroa destructor).

All these factors lead to fatal mass bee colony collapse (so called “colony collapse disorder”). Bees are responsible for pollination of one third of plants used for human food. The fruits used for the installation are just a small part of food diversity that humanity loses if bees disappear.
