La Ruche
The Lincoln - Manchester
Why is Manchester synonymous with bees?
The Manchester worker bee is one of the best-known symbols of Manchester and has been an emblem for the city for over 150 years. The bee denotes Mancunians’ hard work ethic and the city's hive of activity. It has also come to represent the sense of unity in our great city.
Manchester adopted the bee as its symbol, not just for its individual industriousness, but for its collective strength. Just as bees, individually insignificant, form a superorganism, we, the people of Manchester, are stronger when we stand together. And like bees, we are truly amazing; our unity is jaw-droppingly stunning.
Honeybees (Apis mellifera) are the only insects that have been domesticated and have been since at least the days of the ancient Egyptians.
Jars of honey were found in the tomb of Tutankhamun.
Let’s get involved Manchester…
Get ready for an epic summer at The Lincoln because we've got an amazing event lineup coming your way! Inspired by the Paris Olympics, we're bringing you a range of super fun activities and competitions.

One of the most thrilling events is the 'Pub Pentathlon', where we're looking for teams from each company at The Lincoln to join in the fun. You can have as many people on your team as you like, and guess what? You can play multiple times! The top five scores will count towards your tally, so everyone's got a chance to shine.
But wait, there's more! You'll need to nominate a team captain to be the liaison with the 'Pub Landlord' and event manager. This could be your time to shine and lead your company to victory! There will be exclusive events, awesome prizes, and even the chance to win the title of Champion Captain. It's going to be a summer full of fun and friendly competition – are you in?
