| Description: | The declining bee population, both nationally and globally, under threat from disappearing green spaces, intensive farming practices, disease and over use of pesticides, prompted Janet to create this arpillera.
Here, Janet, using images from her immediate environment comments: “The left hand side is present day with active bees and the right hand side is a possible future as the bee population declines.” As bees pollinate three-quarters of the world's most important crops their absence means - no fruit, vegetables, flowers, wildlife and less food.
She urges people to take actions to prevent this doomsday scenario, such as planting flowers, campaigning against pesticides and keeping bees.
