As I stare upon the gleaming art at Eureka Tower in Melbourne a burst of memory pops into my head.

“This reminds me of the great hand sculpture by Ronnie Van Hout at the Te Puna O Waiwhetu art gallery in Christchurch,” I thought to myself.

“Gosh these bees are just amazing and immaculate don’t you think?” I say.

“Yes, and you can definitely tell that the Queen bee at the very top rules the crown” my friend from Aussie says. “I wonder who thought of the idea first?” 

“New Zealand! >> Australia!” we both say at the exact same time.
