What is that Bee in the Daffodils?
Hi Clara, that is indeed a handmade glass bee in my small desk flower arrangements.
I purchased it for $10 at a St. Louis glass institute. It was the only one they had. At the time I was making the rounds of St. Louis with visiting family and didn’t know what I would do with the delicate, 1-inch piece. Other people collect baseball caps, t-shirts, spoons - but I though the bee was a great memento of a family vacation.
The glass bee is about an inch long. It has a wire attached underneath so I added more wire that I can bend to the appropriate height so the bee seems to be flying over the flowers.
I also have some handblown clear glass bees made in my hometown. I use them as Christmas tree decorations. I have also used them hanging from a basket handle for some custom gift baskets we’ve put together over the years.
Glad you spotted her.
My flower arrangements are not complete unless there is at least one bee!
