Our beautiful bee sculptures have been a huge hit over the summer and we have absolutely loved being part of the Buzz in the City Art Trail by Farleigh Hospice!😍
Today we sadly waved goodbye to the lovely bees we have hosted during the summer - a huge thank you to everyone who dropped in to see them (and us!)🐝

The final weekend of the trail has passed, and we’ve been receiving fantastic shout-outs across social media from those who have experienced the trail, as well as from our sponsors and participating artists. It's been wonderful to see Chelmsford coming together and supporting our trail, with all the photos and videos that have come along with it.

Our final full week video of highlights is here, and we hope you enjoy the remainder of the trail before the bees buzz off top their new homes.

The celebration doesn’t stop there though! Join us for the Farewell Weekend in the Farleigh Hospice gardens on Saturday 13 and Sunday 14 September, where you’ll see ALL the bees gathered together for one final time. Enjoy stickers, balloons and colouring sheets for little ones, meet the Chelmsford beekeepers and unlock final rewards on our app.
