LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!! This is an amazing early print of 3 large Bumble Bees! This one is from a very old book, circa 1860. Of course this would be fabulous just framed, but I think it would be wonderful to use this in a garden themed project. I’ve also included a second version with just the largest Bee minus the background image. Notice the caption is for Humble Bee… interesting!

Oh THANK YOU! I did notice the Humble bee….reminds me of a poem I learned in first grade….October’s Bright Blue Weather: “when loud the humble bee makes haste..”!!! Love these, again, thanks so much!

Thanks so much. I’ve been crazy for bees lately-much to the dismay of my best friend who has a severe bee phobia!

Great b&w with coloured bees. So rare and so beautiful. I loved in SW France for four years and they have “Carpenter Bees” totally black and furry but 2 inches long . They used to hum like an airplane in the sky and pass you as if they were bombers on a raid. Great clarity and super creatures. Mandyx
