Holy Mackerel

Check out some bee art.

over the course of the fair, 40 000 worker bees were released into the case to complete
a wax honeycomb structure over the figure of a martyred christ rising out of the chaos,
his weight seeming to be upheld by the mass strength of the swarm. the figure within the vitrine
is made of a laser sintered framework in which the industrious bees created a honeycomb skin over
before filling each cell with the honey they produce. then bees worked to remove the honey
from the cells and return it to the beehive, cleaning the figure back to the wax cells they
originally created. tomáš made the honeycomb a red-orange color to symbolize the cross.
