Comprised of a 14-meter lattice structure, Wolfgang Buttress pulsating beehive is the UK's contribution. Made from 169,300 pieces of aluminium and steel, the domed structure sits at the end of a meandering wildflower meadow that leads visitors to the hive. Once inside, a sensory composition of audio and visual effects mimics the activity of an existing beehive in Nottingham. Additional images on request
