A sort of human bee carrying on the work of pollination. I drew and photographed this a couple of days before Vancouver blogger Nao posted about her BeeCause Pollination Project, working to foster honeybees in neighborhood gardens. Bee populations have recently suffered mysterious losses in population and are in need of help in surviving.

it is just because of the non-organic agriculture that use quimistry that kills the bees and they are geting in extinction all over the world .
nice image by the way !!!
what Caio Fernandes said. Not just the insecticides but also the millions of acres of genetically modified corn, beans, peas, etc. An important project.
On a goofier note, the beeman reminds me of a very stern-looking professor of Economics I once saw dressed up as a bee, holding his briefcase and off to his lecture one Mardi Gras in Montreal. It was the only time in my life I ever wanted to sit in on a lecture in Economics :-)
cheers, Susan.
Perhaps he should ask Greenpeace to assist him with a ladder or something...
I like the fragility of this: the flower, his hold.
Precarious, like the bee situation.
just this morning i saw several honey bees on my autumn sedum...hopefully that is a good sign.
btw, love this drawing and the botonical theme...a whole colony of these little guys would go to town in my garden.
That's a funny picture,I like it.Do you have NO wind in California??
Wonderful character. I love that you gave him stripes.
C & M - The cause no doubt originates with human activity.
I just hope he's holding on tight!
I REALLY like this one a lot! The forced perspective works, and he's so darn precarious. -J
Jane - As are we all.
I loved this artwork! I've done some investigating into his and the cause of bee death is (in Europe. at last) is that the big companies in this industry has recently breed some sort of tame bees which falls prey to all kind of diseases. However, they yield a bigger profit. :£
I glad the little fella is dressed for the job!
I love this one!!
This ones really cool! I like how you've made him seem so committed !
Great work!
Bee projects are so worthwhile. I'd miss the bees if they were not with us. So beautiful. Makes me think twice about buying cut flowers!
Oh, and the picture is beautiful.
