Buzz about Bees: 2025
Young people from Rockingham School have been learning about of the importance of nature and conservation with the help of local Artist Angie Hardwick. Angie worked with Children’s Capital of Culture to produce a large-scale outdoor art installation that focuses on Saving the Bees. Using recycled materials such as newspaper, plastic bottles old clothes and fabrics. Angie worked with every class in the primary school learning different skills to create a swarm of large-scale bees. The installation celebrates Rotherham’s natural surroundings and has become a catalyst for conversation about how important bees are to our ecosystem. The project aims to encourage positive action within the school and the wider community. The pupils also created posters and ceramic bee hotels and thirst cups to compliment the installation.
