Barnabee winner at Jim Green attends the South of England show.
Earlier this year the Plumpton Foundation Learning students took part in The Jim Green Challenge and won 1st prize with their large sculpture of a bee - Barnabee!
At this event they were asked if Barnabee could be used in a display for the Honey Bees marquee at the South of England Show in June.
... Barnabee has now been delivered and staff and students helped to hoist it up with ropes and get him in place ready for the show this weekend. It is suspended from the ceiling in the Honey Bees marquee and looks fantastic, a true Ambassador for Plumpton College Foundation Learning and Save the Bees. 🐝
