In the back of the Queen Bee’s head there will be a stack of mixed logs and stones with holes drilled into them to help encourage homes for masonry bees and solitary bees.<\/p>\n
Murless continued: “In folklore, bees are also associated with family, protection and teamwork, which I think connect perfectly with this community project.”<\/p>\n
Westbury Town Council has worked with Penleigh residents and local schoolchildren on the project to improve the park with additional funding from Wiltshire Council.<\/p>\n
Benjamin Griffiths, business development manager at the Town Council, said the sculpture “will be an incredible addition to an already beautiful and much deserving space in Penleigh Park.” <\/p>\n
He added: “The whole group have worked really hard to make this happen.”<\/p>\n
Wiltshire Council’s public art officer, Ella-mai Robey said the “brilliant” idea to transform Penleigh Park all stemmed from local people.<\/p>\n
She added: “Using public art developer contributions to create such a great art project for the community is really exciting.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In the back of the Queen Bee’s head there will be a stack of mixed logs and stones…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":552304,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[307,304,305,306,308,93,61,60],"class_list":["post-552303","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-artsdesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/552303","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=552303"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/552303\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/552304"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=552303"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=552303"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=552303"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
