The Way of the Bee - LAC Members Exhibtion
May 4 - 27, 2011
The Lee Arts Center has again challenged its members with a themed show for the month of May. Members in the Ceramics and Printmaking studios were challenged to create works that showcased "bees". Bees play an important role in pollinating flowering plants, and are the major type of pollinator in ecosystems that contain flowering plants. Depending on demand bees, especially social species, focus on either gathering nectar or on gathering pollen. Bees gathering nectar may accomplish pollination, but bees that are deliberately gathering pollen are more efficient pollinators. It is estimated that one third of the human food supply depends on insect pollination, most of which is accomplished by bees. This exhibition will run through May 27th. Please stop by.
