BESCHRIJVING

It has long been a dream of art director Iris Rombouts to produce an art book that sheds new light on our familiar surroundings and our daily food in particular.
And what better way to do that than with the bee, the most important creature to humans on earth? Not only is this small insect indispensible to our food chain – it pollinates over 80% of all flowering plants and 70 of the top human food crops – but it is also a source of inspiration for architects, writers, artists and even whole cities.
This book celebrates the bee in all its humble glory, and does so in a completely original way.
With a preface by author Jeroen Olyslaegers.
We see the bee represented by old masters and contemporary artists. All these weird and wonderful stories are accompanied by the work of talented photographers. With this book, Iris Rombouts has created a joyful, brilliant mix of stories, photography and art, with the bee as the well-deserved star of the show.
