BEECAB

Friday 4 September 2009 - Sunday 6 September 2009 , 10am - Close

Is it a bee? Is it a cab? No it’s BeeCab. One bee works its entire five-week life span to provide one twelfth of a spoonful of honey. So let’s give the bees a free ride and celebrate London beekeeping. This unusual living artwork consists of a working beehive sealed inside a jobbing London taxi, converted to look like a giant bee on the exterior.
Come and meet urban beekeepers and their bees and step inside the cab and watch a short film on the perilous state of the world’s bee population. Beecab arrives at Pestival in time to ignite the public debate about the plight of our bees.
