For my Bachelor thesis, I got in touch with my dad’s honeybees. He has been a beekeeper for 33 years. My main goal was to extend my small knowledge of these fantastic creatures and to learn more about their aesthetics and ingenuity. I wanted to share my findings on these fascinating insects in photographs and texts. I tried to cover classic topics without getting lost in the depths of biology or creating specialist literature. Honeybees should simply be perceived as aesthetic creatures, achieving incredible things during their short life span. The result of my work is seven magazines, hanging in a top-bar hive. When opened, you’ll hear the unique humming of a swarm of bees. At the University of Würzburg, during an internship at the bee station, I came to the idea of placing a stitch-bound magazine, instead of a wax honeycomb, into one of the wire frames that usually hang in the beehive. To get a better overview of my magazines, I decided to laser different themes into the wooden frames. I printed it in digital print on recycling paper.
