The Bumble Bee

 

The Bumble Bee

Bombus terrestis

Bumbus terrestis or the Bumble Bee was once called the Humble Bee because of it's hum.It's numbers are now declining due to loss of habitat and pesticides.  I made this work in celebration of these busy little creatures which hum in our gardens during the Summer months and in recognition of the loss
of bees worldwide.
 
 
 
 
Bombus terrestis is now on exhibition in the Small Sculpture Award at the Waiheke
Community Art Gallery.  It is made from knitted yarn wire and beads, and will be on view
until 13th April.
