Ren Ri is a creative artist, beekeeper and focused man from Beijing. He creates wonderful art series titled “Yuansu” in reference to the Chinese word for "element". Ren turns bees into his collaborators. The latest Yuansu II series features amazing sculptures made out of bees, of beeswax. In interview with CoolHunting, Ren tells the "special" properties that make beeswax such an interesting material:

“It’s unstable and can change shape with temperature. The structure of wax cells is orthohexagonal, which is an inconceivable feature in the natural world and it’s a peculiarity of honeybees."

Ren Ri is concerned with nature. He is also interested in cutting out human intervention. The main purpose of Yuansu II series is to "eliminate the subjectivity of the artist" via "the mediation of bees," Ren explains in his interview.
