Here are the two winning bees from our August children's activities days. All the bees that were made were brilliant and it made judging them very difficult! The winning bees are shown here in close-up and with the prize the maker has won. The makers of these two bees can come to the museum on a Saturday or Sunday to collect their prizes.
All the bees that were made will go on permanent display in our education room.
