Napoleon chose the bee as his emblem for their industrious & military-like efficiency.

This lightweight yet detailed brass bee brooch comes in three sizes. The small (Baby bee) spans 3cm x 2.5cm, the medium (Worker bee) spans 3.6cm x 2.9cm and the large (Queen bee) spans 5.8cm x 3.8cm. Gold tone pin. All sizes come attached to display card.

See photos 2 & 3 for size comparison.

With age the raw brass will gain a lovely patina, but if you want to shiny things up, try dipping the bee in fresh lemon juice for a minute, rinse with cold water and pat dry with a clean cotton cloth.

10% of all after sales profits are donated to the Wheen Bee Foundation's Australian honey bee research: www.wheenbeefoundation.org.au To date, between Etsy sales and wholesale sales to stores, we have donated over $1800 to the Wheen Bee Foundation.
