Yes, these bee sculptures are killer! The bees are the work of local artist Jake Midgley and were created in recognition of Orland as the Queen Bee Capital of North America. The worker bee can be seen along the Highway 32 off-ramp of northbound Interstate 5, on the east side of the freeway, while the queen bee is alongside the Highway 32 off-ramp of southbound I-5, on the west side of the freeway. The bees, which have long been in the works, were finally placed on their pedestals on Tuesday, June 11. The queen bee measures about nine feet in length, while the worker bee is about six feet.
