World Bee Day: Artwork creates buzz around threat to bees

A giant 195ft-wide (60m) piece of land art has been created in West Yorkshire to celebrate World Bee Day.

Created by Sand In Your Eye, the artwork in Hebden Bridge encourages people to talk about the protection of bumblebees.

International bee populations are under threat from parasites and increasing use of pesticides, prompting fears about the impact on the pollination of crops.
