STING is made from real-world microscopic images of the anatomy of a honeybee. For example, the ‘tail’ is made from a honeybee’s tongue.

• a mass of bees (up to 500) vibrating together can kill an intruder by heating it to death
• one pound of honey = 556 worker bees = 2 million flowers

• bees have existed for 30 million years

• 1 meter X 2.5 meters
