BEES’ BLOG – BEE IN THE CITY

Hello, we are Polly and Billi the Bees, and this is our Guest Blog.

It’s a sad fact that some of you will only know about Manchester because of last year’s terrible bombing, when so many people – a lot of them children and young people – were killed or badly injured as they left a concert. 

Manchester and its people will find it very difficult to get over this, but to try to make people happy a swarm of 100 Giant Bees and about 130 smaller (although still much bigger than us!) bees have landed in the City.

Because, after all, who can be sad when they’re surrounded by Giant 🐝Bees🐝?

They’ll be staying there until 23 September, so you’ve got plenty of time to go and see them – if you do, please tell them that Polly and Billi say “HI!”

Also, a Manchester poet called Mr Paul Jenkins has written a 100-line poem called BE(E) and visited all the Giant Bees to read a line of it in front of each of them! 

We can’t find the words of the poem, but you can watch Mr Paul actually reading it here:

IN OTHER NEWS:
We were all very relieved to find that Wilson, his toys and his New Dad had NOT, after all, been Abducted by Aliens. We expect they’re quite pleased too!

So anyway, we’ve been The Bees, and we’ll see you next month – until then, BEEEEEEEEEE GOOD!
