Busy Bee-Hind

Details

Busy Bee-hind is card one of three in my Bee-Hinds collection, whose workplace policy is fairly clear: “We’re working. No one asked you to look.” Bumblebees are remarkably committed workers, even when the position required to reach the pollen is considerably less dignified than they might prefer. This one is buried in warm red and orange flowers, completely focused on the job and apparently becoming increasingly aware that the viewer is focused on something else. Once it notices where the attention has landed, Busy Bee-hind would like to know: “There’s a whole flower here, and that’s what you noticed?” I painted this collection around the unintentionally funny angles bees manage while working. Busy Bee-hind may be doing important pollination work, but it would still appreciate a little professionalism from the audience.
