A Surbiton artist has created a remarkable art installation in Nevada… and hopes to bring it to England.

Andrea Greenlees of Langley Avenue made the 21ft high, 25ft wide Bee Dance from steeI and copper for a festival called Burning Man.

“It celebrates one of the most wonderful examples of communication in the natural world; the dance routine forager bees use to convey the distance and direction of nectar resources to worker bees,” she said.

It also highlights the risk to the human race of falling bee populations.

Andrea’s festival entry last year, a 33ft steel robot, is now on display in Philadelphia.
