CONCLUSION

The Teardrops of Ra (2021) made me

realise that bees and humans are

inextricably bound in mythology, the

creative arts and life on earth. We

need to recognise and respect the

role of bees, without which we will

face global food insecurity. Artists

through the ages have been inspired

by bees and at this time, it is more

important than ever that we are

inspired by them – if for no other

24 25

reason than our own future is at

stake.
