"Communibee" is a celebration of community portrayed through bees.  Between the lines are stories of society, conservation, matriarchy, communication, hive minds, and sacrifices for the greater good.

When I first started experimenting in this medium, one of the first things I made were bee magnets.  There must be hundreds of these bees out there at this point.  I consider all of those bees to be members of the hive that is depicted in this piece, and imagine them venturing out into the world to forage, as bees do.  Similarly, I consider everyone who has one of these bees to be connected and part of a thiving community.
