Bumblebee, a Los Angeles-based artist, has been turning abandoned telephone booths into works of art. After a recent trip to San Francisco, he struck one booth on Minna, above.

Here's how Bumblebee explains his work:

Telephone companies have been abandoning their public telephone booths by taking out the phones and leaving the structures beehind. (Probably due to the rise in cell phone users.) I want to reuse these structures as a way of communication with the public once more by replacing that empty space with paper-mache beehives. To me, this symbolizes the irony beehind the question, 'where have so many of the bees gone' and the theory that cell phone signals have been misguiding their normal patterns of migration

Sadly, the paper-mache beehive, which can be seen here and here, is missing. If you come across this phone booth, we implore you to add a yellow lantern to it.

Update: Since your Editor, it seems, is blind on a Scott MacIntyre-like level, he couldn't see that a black lantern was already in the phone booth. Cute!
