A guy named Garnet Puett was making bee-completed sculptures in the 80s. He has one or two in a museum in DC, can't remember which. His weren't figurative aside from a couple of busts - they were more about letting the bees go nuts on a given structure.
I don't bring this up as a "Been Done" point, but rather as a "Folks have gone before you, the novelty is gone, make it interesting in other ways" way.
When I spoke with the folks showing Gazbdil's work at the art fair in Chelsea at the old Dia - they'd trumpeted the novelty as the point of the work and had no idea about Puett.
