A look back at Tweehive
Yesterday was the last day of Tweehive…
More extract from The Hive: Throughout history, architects have emulated the building powers of bees using honeycomb motifs in their designs. This has continued into modern times, and has led architects in wildly different directions as they have tried again and again to transpose the spirit of the beehive on to human living space.
Extracts from The Hive, by Bee Wilson. This passage is from chapter 1, Work, and contrasts the management of a supermarket with the partitioning of labour in the hive.
I was asked recently: “Why are you so bothered about bees?” I knew that these creatures were important to agriculture, but just how vital and at risk they were did not strike me until I did a little research on the internet.
Today is the last day of the Tweehive campaign in support of the honeybee. Chalet Les Cîmes is participating by displaying the Tweehive flower for foraging bees to pollinate and collect nectar!
More observant visitors to our website during Friday 7th August may have noticed the presence of a sprouting flower on the lower left hand side of our homepage – what was that all about?
