A new bee-friendly community garden has been officially opened on a housing estate in Llantwit Major.
The Bee Hapus garden at Heritage Gate includes over a thousand flowering plants and specially made totems to house bees who live independently from the hive.
It was created using section 106 funding for public art as a direct response to the declining bee population in the UK.

Cllr Gwyn John, Vale Council's cabinet member for leisure - who officially opened the garden - said: "As a council, we are aiming to reduce carbon emissions to net zero by 2030. This beautiful public art garden significantly contributes to the climate change challenges we are facing."
"The artists have engaged with residents who have helped with the bespoke planting to attract bees and insects to pollinate and contribute to supporting our food chain."
"Bee Hapus Community Garden is a testament to the collaborative spirit of the Llantwit Major community and will be home to bees, bumblebees, honeybees, butterflies and moths.
The new garden, which is open to the public, was created in partnership with housing developers Persimmon Homes and art consultants Studio Response.

Residents have been involved in the project - with Lily Mae Starkey designing the centrepiece Frottage Stone, while artists and gardeners Emma Geliot and Rodger Lougher involved others in creating the garden, which includes a spiral steel-edged garden pathway and a seating area.
All of the residents involved also received a Friends of the Earth bee saver kit and attended the opening, alongside section 106 officers from Vale Council and poet Rae Howells.
