Bee Attractor T-Shirt – Violet

Description

We’re chuffed to be working with a company that takes a thoughtful, big-picture approach to life on Earth. Hot Cactus — the umbrella group behind Cactus Store Studio, Nonhuman Teachers, and Geoponika — operates with a profound understanding that humanity is but one species in the grand story of evolution.

Rooted in a botanical mindset, they are a creative studio that thrives in the spaces where disciplines meet. Their work seeks to foster deeper, more conscious relationships between humans and the natural world, reminding us of our place within it.

With a design philosophy that is as thought-provoking as it is educational, their projects invite reflection on the choices we make and the impact of our existence. It’s this depth of perspective that makes us so proud to collaborate with them.

Design Dialogue:
This shirt was designed to be attractive to honey bees. Wear at your own risk!

Honey bees (Apis mellifera) are attracted to shades of blue, violet, yellow, and sometimes white. Additionally, bees can perceive ultraviolet (UV) light (100-400 nm), a spectrum of color invisible to the human eye. Flowers also employ a combination of radial patterns in these colors, which function as “nectar guides” to attract bees to the floral center. These nectar guides include simple geometric shapes that contrast sharply with the surrounding floral structures for facilitating pollination.

Through multidisciplinary programming, new nature media, and immersive botanical spaces, we aim to ignite a sense of wonder about our rapidly changing Earth, not only to make us better citizens of this place but to help folks imagine it differently.
