The unofficial sage of honeycomb sculptures is Tomáš Libertíny. This 34-year-old Slovakian designer has perfected a method for recruiting bees to become sculptors with little more than a rough shape to work on.
Libertíny’s method involves first taking a shape like a vase or a human figure and then coating it with wax. The whole structure is then covered by a transparent case and tens of thousands of bees are pumped in. Over a matter of hours or days, the bees build their famous honeycomb structures on top of the wax producing what essentially looks like a beehive turned inside out.
