THE E-BEE

E-Bee is an electronic robotic bee designed as MMU’s Mascot. Born out of the Faculty of Creative Multimedia’s ‘Secret Lab’, E-Bee lives in the virtual space inside of computers.

The honeybee, conceived on the 1st of August 2001, is about 7cm in height and weight about 200g. Now, in its 7th version, it has dark eyes with green iris, silver blue complexion, and stripes on its body. E-Bee represents the robotic honeybee with adorable childlike qualities.

A little naughty and emotional, E-Bee however is intelligent and friendly. He enjoys entertaining people, especially impressing the female students with his magic tricks. Forever the optimist, E-Bee is always looking for more ways to introduce MMU to the rest of the world. Sophisticated and independent, E-Bee constantly upgrades himself to become the best that he can be.
