A colony of giant Bee sculptures took to the streets of Manchester for an art trail we’ll never forget…

Wild in Art and Manchester City Council brought Manchester together this summer for Bee in the City, one of the most spectacular public art events the city has ever seen.

Thousands of people discovered more than 230 Bees all over Manchester, taking in the city’s landmarks and undiscovered gems. Each of the 101 super-sized Bees was designed by a different artist and celebrated the unique buzz of Manchester, from its industrial heritage to its vibrant music scene. 131 little Bees joined the trail, created by the children and young people of our city.
