Today’s selfies will have you buzzing! Bees in the City is currently flying around Wellington and the bee sculptures are colourful and quite breathtaking! 30 Professional artists and 20 schools have been buzzy, and a citywide trail is currently being explored by kids (school holidays) and curious adults.

The Fruit Salad Bowl Bee
Look closely at the Bee and you can see Kiwi fruit, strawberry, and pineapple! The body of the bee is the outside of a hairy coconut.
Blue Manuka Bee
A gorgeous Bee. A white background with lovely Wellington themed motifs painted in blue inspired by Delft pottery. You can see the Beehive (Parliament) and the famous Cuba Street bucket fountain on the base.
Bee From the Ocean
A sea-themed Bee, near Wellington Harbour and Te Papa museum. You can spot tentacles, octopus, sea urchins and shells.
I aim to post some more bees next Sunday as they are AMAZING!
