When I researched bees I found the suggestion that a swarm of bees was more like an individual with the bees being the cells, very thought provoking. In this piece I drew all the components of the swarm: the queen, drones, and workers. The bees all make up the swarm or the hive and in a way it's like a puzzle, all the pieces are needed to make up the whole.
