Our final project required us to make individual or collaborative animations that would be 

displayed during the Bangalore Annual Science Habba (BASH). The animations must comply with the theme of portraying the scale of the universe, with an array of topics to choose from, ranging from atoms to the universe itself.

The conflict  between bees & humans and how humans both directly and indirectly  cause

harm to bess is not very well known. Through this animation  we look through the bee’s 

perspective and allow the audience a chance to empathise with them and come to understand their importance. We are using the form of poetry and rhymes to draw a contrast between what the bee is experiencing and what is being visualised. To show that to the bee, the world is a very happy place to be in comparison  to the harsh reality of the everyday actions of man; both direct and indirect.

There was once a bee who lived in the city

He didn’t understand why 

The other bees looked at him in pity.

He loved the tall buildings and flew above them all

He didn’t care that he was very small

He loved to fly and he loved to fly fast

He especially loved,

Chasing after the cars that rushed past.

When he felt bored, he went inside

The very tall buildings to play seek and hide

The humans inside cheered him along,

They clapped and waved when they heard his song.

‘Weeeeee’ he cried as he sped along.

He felt popular

He was most definitely the talk of the town.

And then he needed to rest a bit

On a nearby flower,

He chose to sit.

The flowers around always smelled so sweet

And after all that playing he deserved a treat.

He ate his fill in pollen and honey

Even if it did taste a little bit funny.

Once he was full he took a nap

But unfortunately for him there was no going back.

The other bees watched as their friend lay dead

If the humans had cared, 

He’d be alive instead.
