Where are the bees now? Exploring loss in an age of extinction
Portus, Rosamund
Authors
Abstract
We are living in an age of loss: the sixth mass extinction. Following this year's shocking report that the planet has lost half its wildlife in the past 40 years, and the 2018 Remembrance Day for Lost Species, we bring you 'The Vanishing'. In this new section, we seek responses not only to extinction – the deaths of entire species – but to the quieter extirpations, losses and disappearances that are steadily stripping our world of its complexity and beauty. How do we, as writers and artists, stay human during such times?
Today Rosamund Portus explores an artistic response to one of the gravest losses of our time: the decline of bee populations.
