Designed by UK based artist Wolfgang Buttress, The Hive is a visual tribute to Britain’s honeybees. Originally created for the UK Pavilion at the 2015 Milan Expo, it now lives in our Gardens at Kew - surrounded by wildflowers to celebrate the environments that real bees need to thrive.
The Hive’s distinctive mesh frame is constructed from 170,000 aluminium parts and 1,000 LED lights. It took four months to reconstruct here at Kew and is now one of the most unique features in our Gardens.
In 2016 The Hive won a Landscape Institute Award for its immersive impact. A beacon of contemporary art, it continues to stand tall as a striking symbol of the challenges facing bees today.

The Hive is an immersive sound and visual experience. The lights and the sounds heard inside The Hive are triggered by bee activity in a real beehive at Kew Gardens.
The intensity of the sounds and light change constantly, echoing that of the real beehive. The multi award-winning Hive was inspired by scientific research into the health of honeybees. It is a visual symbol of the pollinators’ role in feeding the planet and the challenges facing bees today.

The Hive Project, created for the education of our children in the future bee's conservation. The lights you see and the sounds you hear inside the Hive are triggered by bee activity in a real beehive at Kew Gardens. It enables our kids to explore and engage with the pollinators’ key role and become better defenders of the planet. This is the views from the ground to the glass ceiling, with all the kids emulating the bees in exploration of their habitat inside the sculpture

@Kew Gardens. We saw signposts to The Hive, and wondered what it was! When we came across it, it was this amazing installation - a honeycomb in metal, and it hummed, just like bees en masse.Meant to celebrate the environment and the work the bees do, it is inspiring!

“The Hive,” is one of three permanent art installations at Moyniahn Train Hall. Created by Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset whose work explores the relationship between art, architecture and design, created, “The Hive" is a set of up to nine-foot-tall models of skyscrapers that hang upside down like stalactites from the ceiling at the 31st Street entrance.

The Hive, the UK’s pavilion at last year’s World Expo in Milan, opened on June the 18th at Kew Gardens in London. Designed by artist Wolfgang Buttress with engineers Simmonds Studio and architects BDP, the pavilion is inspired by the role of the honey bee in the global ecosystem, and allows visitors to feel what it might be like to stand inside a real beehive.
The 17m-high honeycomb structure is made from 170,000 aluminium elements fitted with speakers and hundreds of LEDs that relay information and amplified sounds from inside a real beehive.
This shot shows the structure that rises into the sky to resemble a swarm of bees reflected in the honeycomb floor!
Designers: Kathleen Dogantzis & Will Cuthbert (Canada)
The resilience witnessed among communities in the face of challenging and unprecedented times is paralleled among the honey bee. Honey bee colonies are primary composed of worker bees whose greatest measure of resilience is maintaining hive temperature throughout the cold winter months. This is achieved by adapting worker behaviour to use energy from stored honey to generate body heat within a tight hive cluster. The challenge of keeping the hive warm is met by a colony level response – much like the collaborative community level response that is mounted in the face of adversity.
The installation is designed with a hexagonal structure reminiscent of a honey bee colony, and it highlights the colour variation of honey, which is the result of diverse floral resources. Individuals are welcomed to experience the visual diversity of a honey bee hive and work together to form a collaborative community level hive cluster.

Part of The Hive, a Resident Evil based RP sim.
Since is risking to close down, i decided to take as many pics as i can since it has always been one of my fave places since my come back on SL.
The level of details is something amazing, esp for fellow RE fans.

Nightswimming deserves a quiet night
The photograph on the dashboard, taken years ago
Turned around backwards so the windshield shows
Every streetlight reveals the picture in reverse
Still, it's so much clearer

I was actually trying to get some pictures of pool activity at The Hive, wanting to adjust my camera angles and focus a bit, when, with a little serendipity, it stuck right here.
I stopped everything I was doing and took the shot. I did not want to move my mouse and lose the focus xD.

To all the incredible people who've enjoyed The Hive sim,
Thank you for your support, exceedingly kind words and for visiting The Hive. The sim now has a close date of Saturday, July 14th but it will remain open, as is, right up to the last moment.
It's been both a privilege and a pleasure. Thank you all for making this worth while!
Update: July 14, 2018
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who showed up at zero hour today, I had a great time talking with you all and an even hard time packing things up after. I'm so blown away by all the kind words and well wishes, I've been doing this for 8 years now but this way by far the most support I've ever gotten for a project and it really is humbling. Thank you everyone! See you around the grid!
If you'd like to share your Hive and Raccoon City photos still for sure consider my flicker group: www.flickr.com/groups/3023089@N24/ or tag your photos with "The Hive" to make them easier to find!
Working the Hive today! It's still really early on in the build but this area is based off the lab you first encounter the Tyrant boss from the first Resident Evil game!
While I do greatly enjoy the first movie and most of the games, I know RE fans are kind of split between liking either or, So this is my effort to bridge the divide by offering the best of both worlds at the Hive! Hope you like it!
**Update July 14, 2018: While the sim is now closed please feel free to still join the group: world.secondlife.com/group/ee72cab4-18dc-a00c-05ff-79d1c4...
