Adam Makarenko - The Langstroth Range
A deep fascination of bees and beekeeping led me to create my own miniature apiaries.
The miniature work I have been creating over the past year is based on a loose narrative I've developed called the Langstroth Range, which is an imaginary place located in the Yukon Valley.
It is a pseudo garden of Eden; untouched, unexploited and unexplored.
Within this mountainous region there are giant bees, rare flowers, and prehistoric bears.
The Langstroth Range is essentially a lost world.
It is a place that has been left alone by people until a man named William Bjorn discovers the valley and eventually exploits the area for profit, resulting in the giant bees' demise.
There is a rush to attain the golden honey of the bees, not unlike the Yukon Gold Rush.
