Come, gather up the creative honey of your soul!

Founded in 2002, www.HiveWorld.org is an online portal into the realms of various multimedia art organizations. HiveWorld.org is managed and maintained by the graphic design of Jason Jenn. The site serves as home base to his company, ReEvolutionary Productions, and offers links to like-minded artists.

Hive World associates itself with the most positive qualities of the honeybee (apis mellifera) an entity responsible for the pollination of flowering plants the world over. 1/3 of the food we eat is dependent upon bee pollination. Artists are like the bees, responsible for nourishing the world with rich creative honey for the benefit of society. By opening their minds like flower blossoms, and working both diligently and with community, they can share with the world their creative passions and visions. Bee and hive metaphors can be found throughout history in various cultures, but this site has no affiliation with other religious institutions or art organizations that use similar imagery. They are universal symbols with important messages! Hive World is about the expression of individuals in communion with each other - more a philosophical way of bee-ing and thinking than set form. While, like all things, there is a shadow side to the “hive mentality,” this site aims to focus on the most benevolent aspects of creative and spiritual pollination.

Bees communicate by means of chemical messages, touch, sound, and in the case of honeybees, a symbolic dance language called the waggle dance. Thus, the regular series of updates for Hive World events is called The Hive World Waggle Dance Dispatch!

Honeybees are currently under threat by Colony Collapse Disorder, a condition that affects the immune system of the bees and has already wiped out 1/3 of the population. There are many theories as to the cause of CCD, but no solid conclusions. However it is clear that humans must take responsibility for the environmental impact. As humans create any type of man-made chemical, element, molecule, etc. they are directly tampering with the delicate balance of life. It is not a surprise that as humans create and release synthetics the world sees declines in the diversity of natural life on this planet. In the name of progress, humanity has tampered with the delicate web of life without honoring a sacred reverence for the natural world. Careless release of man-made substances in the environment is replacing natural forms. Life is not given without death. The question comes down to whether or not we respect and appreciate the natural world over our modified "life-forms." The collapse of bee colonies is a strong sign to pay attention to the imbalance we are imposing upon the world with man-made substances and a call to restore balance.
