Overgrown Bee

Overgrown was created by: Lizzie Rose Chapman and sponsored by Wyth Love from Wythenshawe. "The design for this Bee was inspired by pollination, the bees' love of flowers and Wythenshawe itself, Manchester's original Garden City. You are encouraged to follow the Bees on their trails and explore Wythenshawe's variety of green spaces. At the Edible Transport Interchange, anyone can help themselves to the herbs, vegetables and fruit grown here, then simply throw them into a pot to create a delicious evening meal." The Bee started its life on the Forum Concourse SJ8287 : Overgrown, in her very own garden, with smaller, but equally amazing, learning Bees. Once the Summer had ended, she moved to her forever hive, in Wythenshawe's Edible Transport Interchange.

An interesting Y-shaped 1960s office block, the upper storeys above a hexagonal ground floor. I would have tried to get a closer look, but the "ISO27001-compliant building has some of the most sophisticated security of any data centre in Europe ... with an on-site police-linked, NSI Gold Approved, BS5979 certified control room and alarm receiving centre [it is] unique in the UK. ...biometric access controls, virtual tripwires, visitor turnstiles and man-traps, and full-height perimeter fencing provide multiple layers of physical security."
