Abandoned Comb by Derrick Cruz

The honeybees are disappearing, and it’s fucking scary considering that our civilization kind of depends on pollination and all. Yeah, I hate thinking about it, too, but it’s really happening.

Shining a spotlight on this catastrophe is Earnest Sewn with the latest in their ongoing installations: “A New Hive.” Bee-inspired works by Derrick R. Cruz, Caroline Priebe, Natalie Chanin, Cory Gomberg, Monica Byrne and others will be included in the exhibit at Earnest Sewn’s flagship store in NYC’s Meatpacking District. The hope is to bring attention to this extremely pressing issue, because as Cruz puts it:“Curiosity leads to contemplation, internalization, and then to genuine concern.”

Yeah, lets hope.

Here’s a sample of the instillation–the artist were suppose to think “pollinators” while designing:
