Title: BEE-HAVE
Students: Arrnaud Barrail, Arthur Billotte, Nora Bugmann, Camille Rieux
Synopsis:
Beehave is a project that seeks to reconnect us with both domestic and wild bees. By adopting an empathetic approach and treating them as a culture with which we coexist, it underscores how our own survival depends on their well-being, spanning different scales of existence between kosme and microkosme. The project navigates the multiple dimensions of bee life—from the flower to the individual bee, from the hive to their territorial range and access to resources—highlighting the subtle balance advocated by the melliferous nymph to the demigod Aristée. This knowledge, encompassing agriculture and beekeeping, was then passed on to humankind, reminding us of the delicate harmony needed to live in harmony with bees at every level.
