A Bee Society was created in Oaxaca, Mexico, in close collaboration with the local beekeeping community. The work incorporates pages from the propaganda yearbook Jungen Eure Welt, published for the Hitler Youth between 1938-1942. A Bee Society puts the natural, elaborate social system of honeybees in context with human, constructed forms of social behaviour.
