The Last Bee

Where are we going? Or are we flying into the abyss? Year after year, the chances of human survival on Earth are diminishing. Bees are disappearing, and yes, they will probably be replaced by robot bees, who do not care if it is warm or cold, they are not threatened by infections or lack of food. It is to be hoped that the Earth will hold out against the crushing and final blows that will destroy the remnants of Paradise on Earth, when no more robots can help. The artwork is done in mixed media using gray felt-tip pen, colored pencils, acrylics, and collage. This summer I was stung by a bee when I went out on the terrace with a cup of green jasmine tea. I was very surprised and a little relieved, despite the pain, that it was the first time I had ever been stung by a bee. I did not do anything wrong to it, and it just stung me. That bee must be completely irritated and angry with the world, I thought. Everything is wrong, and the world doesn't seem as beautiful to her as it used to.
