Bee Trail Location List
Helpful tips to find each trail location (maps below)
There are 14 graphically illustrated signs around Salisbury city, each features a bee and the aim is to find them all. Each of the illustrated bee signs has a little bit of bee knowledge on it for you to learn and if you like you can also download my free App to add some interest/knowledge and to see the featured bee come to life in amazing AR technology! While you can just use the paper map to guide you to each illustrated bee sign, the App will also tell you a little more and give you some easy learn quizes to help you keep that bee knowledge in your memory.
The AR technology bees are really fun to see (Augmented reality or AR for short, is like a 'virtual' moving bee) so go to the links below to find and download those.

Virtual Bee Trail App
can be found below for Android and Apple devices.
App Tip - To see the virtual bee image fully, stand slightly back as you scan the sign with your phone. A bee, some info and a 'badge' to collect, should become visible to you. Move your phone around until you get it right!
