Two wild bees in this painting, one almost vanishing beyond the canvas, symbolising their dwindling population, while three robotic bees approach the Princess's flower. Will nature surrender to technology, or can we still save our natural wild pollinators before it is too late?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #414141; font-family: avenir-lt-w01_35-light1475496, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; white-space: break-spaces;\"\u003eGreen carpenter bees were once common and widespread in south-eastern Australia, from Kangaroo Island to northern New South Wales.
