Glossa is the Greek word for ‘tongue’. The glossa is similar to a long segmented cylinder covered with hairs. When the bees are foraging, the tongue is extended and immersed into the nectar. The hairs on the glossa erect to collect the liquid and the nectar is sucked into throat of the bee. Besides being a feeding instrument, the bee-tongue serves also for licking the queens’ pheromones which regulate the life in the hive. So it is also a kind of communication instrument. | Glossa is the Greek word for ‘tongue’. The glossa is similar to a long segmented cylinder covered with hairs.

The goal of the Intelligent Beehive is a double one. At one hand it offers a safe refuge for city honeybees, and at the other hand is is a biosensor that interacts with the environment and that measures the pollution of the foraging fields around the beehive. | The goal of the Intelligent Beehive is a double one.

The Laboratory for Form and Matter is a research project into the creation of smart materials by and in collaboration with non-human organisms. It is situated at the intersection of biology, ecology, technology and contemporary culture. The research is fed by my interest in bacteria as a medium for artistic expression and by a certain fascination for natural structures, networks and organic processes at microscopic level. | The Laboratory for Form and Matter is a research project into the creation of smart materials by and in collaboration with non-human organisms.
