The Manchester Christmas Bee
The city’s worker bee motif has been part of the city’s heraldry for more than 150 years as an emblem of the industrious Mancunian spirit. During 2017, it took on an even more powerful meaning as a symbol of unity following the tragic events of May 22 Link

The giant worker bee outside the library in St Peter's Square is one of a series of light sculptures installed in the city centre to mark Christmas 2019. They were all made using recycled, biodegradable materials and feature low-energy LED lights.
