One of the large "Bee in the City" bee sculptures in place in the University of Manchester's John Owens quadrangle. It was designed by American artist Kate Eggleston-Wirtz. The information board attached to the sculpture reads: "The bee in this design represents the University of Manchester. Its primary colour scheme is purple, gold and grey; the University colours. The world in its eyes focuses on global links, international investment in people, pulling together and working towards a sustainable future. The cog, depicted in yellow around the eyes, symbolises that this is a worker bee."
