Pollen Balls Project (installation view)
Presidio Habitats

Amy Lambert

Pollen Balls Project

Digger bees have little cultural significance in our society: there are no stories, songs, or myths about these unfamiliar insects. Using methodologies that rely on community participation, artist and biologist Amy Lambert generated data on the bees in the Presidio and concurrently brought the digger bee into our consciousness. These newly created “stories” about the bees were manifest in the inscribed wax pollen ball forms that Lambert situated among plants at the Presidio’s native plant nursery.
