Our mission

We shape stories for earth inhabitants un(der)appreciated by humans.


We help make them and their homes visible, understood and appreciated. We develop exhibitions and installations: indoor, outdoor, temporary and permanent. We do this from start to finish; from collaborating with nature experts to reach a deep understanding of the natural world, to developing content, to close involvement in the production process.

The bee symbolizes interdependence, both in ecosystems and in collaborations.

In 2026 Bee Collective transformed from a foundation into an interdisciplinary collaboration of creators, currently formed by Nina Simons and Robin van Hontem. They adopted its name and expanded its mission to the above.
