Watching Blade Runner 2049 again, I was inspired to recreate the Bee Hive scene in Unreal 5. The strong contrast and low visibility are almost ethereal and dream-like. The Bee Hives seem so out of place. But thinking deeper about it, it kind of makes sense with nature beginning to thrive again in a barren desert. Perhaps, a metaphor for the Replicants Miracle or maybe the bees could be Deckard's way of monitoring air quality and radiation levels.

Villeneuve: There are a lot of problems with bees in the world right now. They are disappearing, so the fact that here you can see those creatures still alive and still present, was for me like a little spark of hope in this dystopian universe.
