Bees are vital to the planet’s ecosystem as they pollinate about three quarters of plants. Pesticides, parasites, disease and habitat loss has resulted in a decline in the bee population.

‘Brainteasers and optical illusions are always a hit around the office and to be able to tie in with such an important cause is great,’ said David Roebuck, Managing Director at Swift Direct Blinds.

‘The hidden bee has really stumped a lot of people! We hope the blind generates some fun and a talking point among people and raises some awareness at the same time.’
