Check out these Audio Bee Booths by Sarah Peebles (with help from John Kuisma, Chris Bennett and Rob Cruickshank). The pollinators go into little grooves to nest and you can both see and hear them in exquisite detail as they go about their business.
There are three booths operating in full swing right now at the Tree Museum, the Greenway Nature Centre near Waterloo and the Calgary Zoo. The installation at the Tree Museum is part of the group show Items May Shift curated by Earl Miller and featuring Ken Gregory, Anitra Hamilton, Mike Hansen, Gordon Monahan, Sarah Peebles and E.C. Woodley. The exhibition is installed now, and the opening is on September 11, 2011. More information here.

So beautiful, I'm glad there are jpegs, (because I won't go anywhere near it when I get to the tree museum.) (bees=terror)

Those boxes are beautiful, with or without bees.

Chris Bennett did the woodburning. I got to meet him at the Too Cool For School Art and Science Fair where he showed a wooden, wood-burned book.

I remember that guy! That project was great.

Agreed. I loved it and I love the job he did on this and now I want to wood-burn everything in my house. And I will.
