Bee the Sky
Created by: Pictoria
Sponsored by: Teledyne e2v
Location: Anglia Ruskin University – Sawyer Building
This beautifully balanced bee explores the endless possibilities of the sky — and of ourselves. One side glows with soft yellows and pinks of dawn, symbolising new beginnings and bright ideas. The other fades into sunset hues of magenta and purple, evoking reflection, imagination, and calm.
With cloud-like textures and dreamlike colour blending, Bee the Sky is a tribute to blue sky thinking — and to the sunrises and sunsets that remind us our potential is limitless.

You could own this bee!
When the Buzz in the City art trail ends, you’ll have the opportunity to bid on our spectacular giant bee sculptures at a live auction – a unique chance to own a piece of art and local history, while raising much-needed funds for Farleigh Hospice.
Mini bees will be returned to the schools, clubs, care homes and community groups who decorated them to keep as a lasting memory of their participation in the art trail.
