At London’s Kew Gardens, a 17-metre high abstract ‘honeycomb’ artwork aims to demonstrate to visitors the importance of protecting the honeybee. Standing nearly 56-feet-tall, the 40-tonne, abstract ‘honeycomb’ art installation features 1,000 LED lights that coordinate with a soundtrack of buzzing from within the hive. These elements illuminate and hum in response to real bees housed at Kew, giving visitors a peek into the minute-by-minute energy and mood levels of the gardens’ bees.
