This experience, produced for schoolchildren, allows you to join Bella, a hard-working honey bee. Fly high and low across the provincial countryside with Bella to reveal the secret lives of bees.

Bella is three weeks old and is an essential member of a thriving 50,000-strong colony of bees. Having spent all her life working inside the hive, she’s now going outside for the first time, promoted to forage for nectar. Buckle up as you join her for an exciting adventure. The story begins as you meet your Bella flying through the air. She is bringing back her first load of nectar from a patch of striking flowers she has discovered in the vast countryside around the farm.

Shot in France, this project was delivered in a small hive shaped structure to groups of twenty school children. The application has been built with simultaneous playback allowing for smoother delivery on location.
