The Challenge

Sensory seating zone

The Hive structure with sound interaction at the top

The Hive structure at night

‘See like a bee” experience

Inside the hive and “sting” experience

Buzzing is a bee themed urban intervention located in Bournemouth square designed to spark curiosity among teens whilst encouraging them to engage with sensory activities that deepen their connection to bees. The main Hive offers thrill seeking teens the chance to climb the structure and take part in a buzzing sound intervention that comes alive at night. The inside of the structure allows teens to see through the eyes of a bee, enhancing their connection to bees through an immersive experience.
