Container installation for the 2013 Dunedin Fringe Festival: audio work installed in a beehive within a shipping container in Dunedin’s Octagon. 2000 life size bee decals were distributed within a 2km radius in public places. This work aimed to draw attention to the plight of New Zealand’s feral bees, an essential part of our food ecology, but threatened by the Varoa mite. In the summer of 2013 the Varoa mite reached Dunedin. Information was distributed about urban beekeeping.
