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!

    Thank you! These are wonderful! They’re the bee’s knees. Opps! Sorry, bad pun. Don’t know what got into me tonight. But I do love them. And thank you for the extraction. Beautiful! You spoil us.

    Just found this graphic from you Karen, and made it into an ornament last night, with clear glittered wings. I love it, and wanted to say thank you for all the amazing images you’ve shared. I really appreciate it!
    Take care,
    Martha

    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

    I am new to the Graphics Fairy sebsite, and love the images. Are the images only good for one day, say for instance the bees on the web site today? I am unable to download today. Thank you for the information.
