“Pollen” was produced in collaboration with beekeeper and biologist [https://apihappy.fr/ Julien Perrin] who offered us multiple kilos of honey in exchange for the design of his future honey pots. The dish was served on ceramics produced by the students of the Art and Design school of Le Mans (France), under the supervision of Natsuko Uchino and Olivier Chouteau. | “Pollen” was produced in collaboration with beekeeper and biologist [https://apihappy.fr/ Julien Perrin] who offered us multiple kilos of honey in exchange for the pedagological design of his future honey pots.

Julien breeds Buckfast bees, which can be considered a “rustic” species — which, in other words, means “resistant to all the disasters she has to face”. Julien works in collaboration with a large community of beekeepers to multiply these open-source bees. According to him, the bee must remain "<i>a common</i>" which no industry must take possession of, to avoid at all costs falling into the pitfall of privately owed seeds and breeds. | Julien breeds Buckfast bees, which can be considered a “rustic” species — which, in other words, means “resistant to all the disasters she has to face”.

The indifference towards the bee also relies on the fact that humans have actually very little empathy towards insects. And indeed, there is a real misconception about what social insects are and how they think. Indeed, we often believe that insects are intelligent as a group. And yet, they have an intelligence of their own. | The indifference towards the bee also relies on the fact that humans have actually very little empathy towards insects.

To illustrate it, we have described through an umwelt, ergo at the first person, the activity of a bee. This text, which will punctuate our conversation with Julien Perrin, was written and then evaluated, word by word, by Fanny Rybak, biologist and researcher at the french CRNS institute, specialized in inter-species communication. It is read by french performer Nolwenn Salaün (english version) and Garance Kim (French version).” | To illustrate it, we have described through an umwelt, ergo at the first person, the activity of a bee.
