Decorate your own mini bee
An integral part of the Buzz in the City art trail will be our Learning and Community Programme, where mini bees designed by schools, youth groups and community groups like you, will become part of the swarm, displayed around Chelmsford for everyone to admire and enjoy.
Your mini bee will be yours to design, decorate and name, so it will be completely unique to you. After the trail it will be yours to keep as a lasting memory of your involvement in this high-profile art event.
Farleigh Hospice invites you to join the swarm and decorate your own mini bee, while raising money for local hospice care.
