The Bees of Manchester

The Bees of Manchester
On posting my last photo of Manchester's Victoria station I realised that I had never actually posted any of the Manchester Bees here.

So here are a few, seen on my trip here with our Ipernity friend David G Johnson in July 2018. It was in that year that a special celebration was to be had in celebration of the Manchester worker Bee. More than a hundred were dotted around Manchester, most painted by local school children in a competition. As you can see there were some splendid ones around.

Enjoy full screen.

Haha, yes they all have new clothes! I think that they were almost all the exact same model but each one painted differently. Glad you liked them Uwe.

What a lovely set Herb and beautifully decorated. I didn't know that Manchester was famous for its bees! Thank you for sharing this excellent collage.

All the best, Rosa.

It was all about the people hereabouts working as hard as busy bees! They were in the news for a year or two. I think most have gone now but some of the more professional looking ones are still in places like these main stations and airport.

Glad you liked them. Herb

Very enjoyable memories of a great day out and a fine city too,.. Herb'...
Re. the 'link' ..over a hundred bees to visit over the city trail,. in addition to your captures above,.. I would guess that many city visitors will have been dermined to see them all and will have enthusiastically accomplished their mission.. // Keep well, and 'Good wishes' - from Dj.

Great that you popped in to see these memories my friend. It was a great day out and reminds me of a more recent day photo adventure with Toz (below). It goes on to prove that Ipernity is more than simple a photo sharing site. I think there were many people trying to get proof that they found every one of these bees but whether they got a prize for doing so, I don't know. Looking back at all the photos I took that day with you, I think I may well post yet more memories here.

Keep well too. Best Wishes. Herb

These are absolutely brilliant Herb..................such a well put together collage, with each bee really fascinating and beautiful. My favourite has to be the golden one top left, I really like the reflections on it.

A great link too.............thanks for taking the trouble to do this!
