A Theatr na nÓg and Theatr Brycheiniog co-production. 

We Need Bees by Katherine Chandler, tells the story of what happens when Spring has sprung and all the incredible wildlife is waking up from a long cold winter, including our friend Bron the honey bee. Join her and her "buzz-tastic” friends as she shares her exciting adventures pollinating the wonderful world of flowers and plants. We meet Bron’s old friend Bertie Bee at the bottom of the heap of a busy beehive, spending his day pollinating bland old apples. He'd prefer to be free to pollinate wildflowers instead. In a moment of rebellion, he leaves the hive, putting the whole colony and his best friend Bron in danger. Now Bertie has to be brave. What will happen next? Who is the mysterious Crab-Spider? Will Bertie succeed and save his friends? With live music composed by Barnaby Southgate.

This was performed as an outdoor test event for the Welsh Government in June 2021 and took place in King George V Playing Field, Brecon.
