We Love Manchester - Bee Badges
Posted by Sam Lane

In response to the tragic attack in Manchester, we created a limited edition Pin Badge rendition of the Manchester Bee. The bee symbolises the Manchester spirit, the union and the love of our people.

The design for the badges was directly inspired by the original Worker Bee design of Manchester. The worker bee is one of the best-known symbols of Manchester. It was adopted as a motif for Manchester during the Industrial Revolution, at a time when Manchester was taking a leading role in new forms of mass production, and symbolises Mancunians' hard work during this era and Manchester being a hive of activity in the 19th century.

The bee symbolises the Manchester spirit, the union and the love of our people. These limited edition badges we're sold raising over £1000 for the We Love Manchester Emergency Fund @britishredcross.

We are always looking to offer our services to charities that we hold close to our hearts (particularly in and around the North of England) so if you're a charity with a really positive mission and you think you could benefit from working with us then please don't hesitate to get in touch - hello@madebyalphabet.com
