After Easter, I asked all Year 8 pupils from New Mills School to create a multi-media, large-scale honeybee drawing, as part of their Art learning. The bee symbolises community and hard work; by the pupils completing these during the challenge of lockdown, they have made artwork that symbolises togetherness. I do so look forward to creating a huge display of these fantastic drawings in the School Hall when we return!

Use the below Bee Identification Guide to see which bees you can spot today, and why not create your very own Nectar Bar to help our furry friends….

And if you’re feeling a bit arty, why not have a go at creating your own Bee sculpture design using the download template (courtesy of Manchester’s Bee in the City):
