2022 January 25, Tuesday: The Manchester Bee
One item one may or may not notice in Manchester is one of its common symbols: the worker bee.
The formal coat of arms for Manchester is:
At the top is a globe with a map and seven bees in a geometric honeycomb pattern.
The worker bee is the common symbol of Manchester.
It represents a worker in a mill from the time of the Industrial Revolution.
If one is observant, one will notice the bee almost everywhere.
Here you see the bee on a litter bin and on a bollard.
And on one of my caps.
Here it is on a keychain/pendant and on the entry passage of a shop.
And on the windows of shops - from the high-end to the DMart types.
The bees also ride the Stagecoach Green Electric Buses. I see three on this side of this bus.
Search Google for ‘Manchester Bee’.
Does Mumbai have such a symbol?
If so, what is it?
