UNBEELIEVABLE ART!
A GIANT image of a bumblebee has been painted at a school in Yorkshire to celebrate this year’s World Bee Day.
Award-winning artists from Sand In Your Eye painted a 196ft 10in (60m) piece of bee land art at Hebden Royd CE Primary School. They used the same line paint and sprayers that are used to mark out the lines for football pitches.
The team and pupils also created 90 paper bumblebees and helped to create a small meadow habitat to encourage bees and other pollinators to the school’s playing field.
The huge – and bee-autiful! – artwork was created to highlight how important it is to conserve and protect the UK’s bumblebees.
The head teacher at Hebden Royd explained: “Bees play a vital role as pollinators; they pollinate the food we need to survive and pollinate many of the trees and flowers that provide essential habitats for wildlife.”
