Designing Honeycombs

What do bees actually do, while flying from flower to flower all day long? And do they see flowers as we see them? How do they tell flower scents apart? What sort of places are hives? What would happen if not for pollination? We are seeking answers to these questions collectively. Drawing inspiration from Germinator by SKREI with Francisca Sottomayor & Sofia Magalhães, which is exhibited in the Biennial, this workshop starts by addressing the food cycle through bees and honey, and then, we all create small honeycombs. This workshop improves both hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills.
