Our bees made this sculpture from bits of comb floating in honey placed in the hive to feed them over the winter.

A particularly beautiful specimen from 2014. WHIT DESCHNER/GREAT SALT LICK AWARDS // From the article "Perhaps You’d Like to Purchase Art Sculpted by a Cow" COPYRIGHT 2017 | ATLAS OBSCURA | 61 GREENPOINT AVE, BROOKLYN, NY 11222
Then we learned of a fundraiser for Parkinson's research held in Baker City, Oregon where curated salt licks are entered into an art contest with the winners auctioned off to the highest bidders. “Goats and deer are more realist,” [contest founder Whit Deschner] says. “Cows are more impressionist. The horses aren’t artistic at all.”
While the adjacent photo isn't attributed to a particular ungulate (guess it's not a horse, though), notice the striking similarity to our bees' work?
A nice reminder of how creative living creatures are when given space, time, and sound materials.
