More of my pollinator garden work in progress about the future of pollination for Manufactured Ecosystems.

I’m thinking about a variety of futures possible for pollination and pollinators. Planting native plants wherever you are can foster these species on whom we and our ecosystems depend.

Another detail of my pollinator garden piece made of collaged prints, for Manufactured Ecosystems. This shot shows my tiny sweat bee, Agapostemon virescens (Toronto’s official bee). I took a little liberty with scale so I could actually get some details and yet show the bee in context of the flowers (purple coneflowers, Canada goldenrod, 🧵1/2

With eye month, #InsertAnInvert2024 has given me another excuse to talk about bees. How many eyes do you think bees have? I’ve been making art about bees for years, looking at photos and specimens and talking to entomologists but I only recently learned something which seems a basic fact of bee anatomy: they have FIVE eyes! More precisely, bees like this Osmia lignaria (a blue orchard mason bee) 🧵1/n
