Bejing-based artist Ren Ri worked with bees in his project Yuansu II with stunning beeswax sculptures as a result:

The bees did the grunt work of building the honeycomb, while Ri manipulated the environment and his group of collaborators to suit his creative designs. Each sculpture started out with the queen bee suspended in the center using wooden sticks that encourage the bees to build around her – and every seven days he changed the polyhedron’s orientation based on a random roll of a dice.
