Whilst exploring this new possible avenue of exploration I have started to look at theory and what research is available at this time to help formulate a scientifically accurate representation of the situation of the carcinogenic properties of pesticides I came across an interesting book called "Dead Zone" Where the Wild Things Were.” by Philip Lymbery, chief executive of Compassion in World Farming. In it, he suggests that neonicotinoid insecticides may be contributing to bi

Whilst I have been exploring different avenues for the expansion of my project, I have looked at what other animals are effected by the depleting numbers of bees species around the world. I naturally looked at the prey of bee species specifically birds and how these animals can be effected, similar to the effects we are seeing from dolphins that are being washed up on shores across the world with stomachs full of plastics. They prey of fish, that prey on grill, that prey on p

Environment Secretary Michael Gove said a total ban on bee-harming pesticides in the countryside across Europe would be supported by the UK and kept in place after Brexit. In a reversal of the Government's previous position on "neonicotinoid" pesticides, Mr Gove said new evidence indicated the risk to bees and other insects from the chemicals was "greater than previously understood". The science justifies the further restrictions on their use which have been proposed by the E

The vaults beneath St. Pancras Paris Church have a rich history. The crypts were originally used between 1822 and 1854 to combat the overcrowding of village burial grounds and later as an air raid shelter in both world wars. In 2002, they were repurposed into a contemporary arts space called The Crypt Gallery. The gallery’s bright red entrance leads in from Dukes Road and welcomes visitors into a unique space designed to provoke contemplation. The Crypt Gallery, St Pancras Ch

Ever since Banksy first captivated the public imagination, street art has steadily gained its credibility in the art world, and Graffik London has exhibited work by some of the most reputable names on the scene. The gallery on Portobello Road specializes in displaying the finest street and urban art year round. Though street art is arguably less quirky than it once was, now that its exhibition has become more commonplace, the devotion of an entire gallery to the art form is c

The Many Ways Bee Propolis Can Fight Many Cancers Bee propolis and its marked anti-cancer effects, let alone vast array of other incredible health benefits, is the latest example I’ve found of a product of "God’s creation" providing scientifically backed astounding results that you’ve probably never heard about mainly because it wouldn’t serve the medical industrial complex if you had. Indeed, at the time of this writing, PubMed has a whopping 2,227 studies on propolis itself

Whilst looking at applications for my project I have came across many articles that can give substance an power to the reasoning behind wanting to protect bees. For example this article from the Atlantic newspaper .When CAPE was fed to the mice daily, the tumors stopped growing. When CAPE was no longer fed to them, the tumors began to grow again at their original rate. This suggests that CAPE works by stopping tumor cell growth, not by killing them.The researchers were able t

We have it, we finally have the news we have been waiting for, or do we? Micheal Gove has released a statement saying the UK will finally back a full E.U ban on neonicotinoids. This decision reverses the government’s previous position and is justified by recent new evidence showing neonicotinoids have contaminated the whole landscape and cause damage to colonies of bees. It also follows the revelation that 75% of all flying insects have disappeared in Germany and probably muc

Widely praised for an innovative agenda, Riflemaker takes its name from the duties of its previous occupant. The former gun workshop supports emergent artists, but qualifies for the list thanks to an exhibition last year by Cally-Jo and Lal Hardy, who created the world’s first human gallery, to display tattoos and body art. Of course, due to its nature, the ‘human gallery’ was only temporary, however Riflemaker still continues to offer quirky and inventive content year round.
