Playful, powerful, and full of heart, Bee True, Bee You is a celebration of individuality and community. This sleek black bee sits proudly on a golden honeycomb base, covered in hand-drawn multicoloured hearts—each one representing the people who make up our diverse world. The important message reminding us to embrace who we are.

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.
