Farm Builds Giant Bee and Flower Mazes to Attract More Visitors

If you get lost in this field, you can blame the bee.

Cairnie Fruit Farm in Cupar, Fife, has built a giant maze in the shape of a bee and flowers, covering six acres, about the size of three football pitches.

Drone pictures show the maze, with hedges measuring about 5 feet. Over summer, the farm expects them to grow to 8 feet.

The farm plants a “mega maze” every year and picks a different shape each summer. This year’s design celebrates the pollinators that help the farm’s crops each year.

Planting starts each May, with gardeners using GPS trackers to plan the design. Tractors then plant the maize hedges, sowing four rows at a time.

Previous designs have included turtles, hedgehogs, Darth Vader and the BFG.

The maze will stay up until late October, when gardeners will harvest the hedges before starting again next year.
