Hive of Hope is a bright and joyful celebration of life, love, and nature. Its vibrant design is filled with colour and meaning — look closely and you’ll see seven butterflies, symbolising life’s beauty, fragility, and the comforting presence of loved ones who are no longer with us.

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.
