The San Diego Honeycomb Hunt, is a city wide scavenger hunt that raises awareness about dying honeybee populations. 

Boston based artist Renée Ricciardi uses photography and art to save bees. As the creative force behind this public art installation, she is on a mission to inspire and change.
The kickstarter photography project, Bees in Italy highlights these issues.

The honeycombs are installed in high traffic areas from La Jolla to Coronado and each has a QR code for Renée’s kickstarter campaign, Bees in Italy.
Bees in Italy is a photography project that aims to document progressive organic life in Italy, so that other nations can learn about how Italy is banning pesticides to save bees. 

People are encouraged to photograph the public art pieces and upload to social media with the hashtag #HoneycombHunt. 
Honeycomb hunters can stay up to date by following the hashtag #HoneycombHunt @Bees_in_Italy on instagram and twitter.
