Dancing For Bees is a piece that explores the resonant frequencies that plants use to move—and are moved by—when bees pollinate them. Flowers produce specific vibrations to attract bees, dancing for them, luring them in. This interaction is both ancient and essential, a quiet language shared between species.

This work is part of the Earth Nostalgia collection by Frank Locomotive, a series that reimagines natural phenomena through mechanical means. Dancing For Bees specifically reflects on a future where nature is replaced by synthetic substitutes, prompting us to consider what we lose in the process. As technology simulates organic life, we drift further from the raw, untamed essence of the natural world—until even something as simple as a flower’s dance becomes artificial. This piece captures that unsettling beauty.
