    The Transparent Beehive is a living sculpture in the form of an observation hive. Inside is a colony of living bees that have access to the outside world through a plexiglass tube.
    The hive was inspired by the work of the Swiss entomologist Francis Huber (1750-1831), who made numerous discoveries about bees, including the principle of the “book hive”, a multi-frame hive model that can be opened like the pages of a book.
    The artist has appropriated this concept by integrating sensors on each frame to collect the vibrations of the insects. The different sounds captured are then amplified by a sound system that allows us to hear the real activity of the bees, visible in front of us thanks to a structure entirely made of transparent plexiglass.
