I designed and painted one of the Manchester bees for the Bee in the city trail during the summer of 2018. My design, ‘Industrious’ was based on Manchester’s industrial history and inspired by the steam powered machinery at the museum of science and industry where the sculpture spent the summer. And I’m pleased to announce that this bee was sold at auction in October for £14,000! Thanks very much to whoever bought him.

And thanks again to Jonathan Bowcott for this cool image of it
