Full description

From FIFTY BEES lll, this is the Female Gold-tailed Melitta or Melitta haemorrhoidalis.

There’s a bit of royal glitz with this one as she’s built into a really special antique Electroplated Silver pot celebrating the coronation of Edward Vll; how appropriate for our queen’s platinum jubilee?

This bee is made of needlefelted wool and stitched vintage thread and she has a lovely golden-orangey tail.

I do have other bees left from the four exhibitions. Much of these have been shared via the FIFTY BEES Instagram page.

Please do get in touch if you see one that you’d like to give a home to.

Designed by Lydia Needle.
