Rotterdam-based
designer Tomáš Gabzdil Libertíny of Studio Libertiny collaborated with a swarm
of bees to create Thousand Years,
a beautiful beeswax sculpture shaped like a teapot. Libertíny worked with Dutch
beekeeper Johan Beckers and his busy colony of 60,000 bees, who built their
intricate honeycomb over a metal scaffold.
The Thousand Years project took two takes
to complete: the first attempt was unsuccessful due to a variety of factors
including location and local weather conditions; the project was then moved to
a less windy location near Rotterdam, where it was completed in August 2014.
