Inside the @amnh’s Susan and Peter J. Solomon Family Insectarium, step into a world where art, science, and buzz collide 👑🐝 From a living observation hive to digital interactives and massive insect models, this exhibit reveals just how vital (and fabulous) pollinators truly are. 🌸🍯 The showstopper? An 8,000-pound resin beehive sculpted by Karen Atta in her West 31st Street studio — crafted from six polyurethane honeycomb lobes ranging from 500 to 3,500 pounds! Suspended from the ceiling like it’s hanging from a tree branch, it’s what designer Ralph Appelbaum calls “the grand story of the exhibit and a visual icon to the street.” Its placement in the Gilder Center beautifully connects art, architecture, and the natural world. It’s equal parts educational, awe-inspiring, and totally buzz-worthy 🐝💛 So next time someone asks “What’s up?” — tell them you’re hanging with the Beez in the Trap, learning how these queens run the world. 🐝💛 #AMNH #BeeTheChange #PollinatorPower #KarenAtta #RalphAppelbaum #gildercenter #feverambassador
