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.
