    So, what’s buzzing around campus this week?
       Plenty of moths, but not enough honey bees, according to ceramics professor Jeff Schmuki of Georgia Southern University’s Betty Foy Sanders Department of Art.
       Schmuki and Wendy DesChene, an associate professor of art at Auburn University, have teamed up to present the weeklong Moth Project at various sites. Funded by a grant from the university’s Center for Sustainability, the project is designed to educate and create conversations about environmental and agricultural issues, especially the rapid and documented decline of honey
bee populations.
     “We don’t know exactly why the bee populations are declining, but we have a pretty good idea. We can reverse this by making some hard decisions, but it takes information to get started. And that’s what this is all about — generating discussion,”
Schmuki said.
       Moths and other nighttime pollinators are attracted by multiple light stations for observation. In addition, the professors answer questions with the help of projected displays and an 18-foot van filled with learning exhibits, dubbed the ArtLab. All of the project’s displays are solar-powered.
