Andrew Tyzack and Debbie Grice, whom one could consider artists in residence to the natural world, have heard about the alarming decline in honey bee populations and other wild pollinators that include native bees, birds, bats, butterflies and moths.

As artists who together operate The Land Gallery in England in East Yorkshire, they decided to do something about it:  Put out a call to other artists and open a virtual gallery with  procceds from the sale of artwork going to the cause of pollinator conservation.  Tyzack has a particular insight into the problem, which in many parts of the globe has manifested itself as Colony Collapse Disorder.  Outbreaks of CCD have been blamed on a virulent combination of mites and a fungus killing honey bees with weakened immune systems potentially caused by exposure to pesticides.  Loss of habitat also is taking a serious toll on wild bees, with several species in the U.S. now imperiled.

Tyzack himself is a third-generation beekeeper, a practitioner of the apiary arts, husbanding his domestic honey hives to make sweet honey.

More and more, artists are stepping forward to aid in the cause of conservation.  This effort on behalf of pollinators is similar to one led by biologist Kerry Kriger who founded Save The Frogs and...
