This blog will be dedicated to the honeybees who create honey, and pollinate approximately one third of the fruits and vegetables we eat. My final design project focuses around the issue of Colony Collapse Disorder and how we as designers can help enhance the lives of bees. Although scientists haven't entirely narrowed down something to blame the causes of CCD, it seems clear that the bee hives near certain monocultures in rural agricultural areas (especially in the US) are being affected. On the other hand, urban beehives are thriving in busy cities because of the wild flowers that grow in the area, where the bees can collect organic goodness.
This blog will also be a platform for discussions and even collaborative works. Even though I'm not a scientist, I believe that if we do small things really well, then it'll definitely make an impact for the bees in one way or another.
Enjoy!
