Simon Delobel from the Verbeke Foundation, (NL) recently wrote in to alert us to the works of Jef Faes. Jef Faes is a Belgian artist working in a particularly interesting medium — bee hives.

Jef’s sculptures combine the natural elements of the living beehive with what appear to be his artistic versions rendered in plaster. The end art-product is an intersting mix of human and insect collaboration — something that we always enjoy here at Animal Architecture. Thanks for the tip Simon!
