Bee Unique

Image: © Gerald England Taken: 14 Feb 2019

This Bee was created by Qubek and sponsored by Longsight Buzz. "Qubek is a graffiti artist whose iconic bee mural can be seen in Manchester's Northern Quarter. Children from Stanley Grove Primary Academy were asked to think about what makes them, and Longsight, unique. The artist used their drawings as his inspiration and produced a design bursting with colour. The humble bee and the planet, the world and the many communities living here side by side, embracing their ever-changing world. Unique." "Longsight Buzz represents the wonderful coalition of schoolchildren, residents, housing associations, councillors and community groups whose efforts brought this Bee to Longsight. The generous support of the Bangladeshi Women’s Organisation, Waddle Taylor Bryan, Royal Travel and the Mazaa restaurant are gratefully acknowledged." The Bee was originally located here in July 2018 Image It was removed for display with all the other Bees to the National Cycling Centre. It was then returned here for permanent display in the park.
