The intricate detail of this fascinating insect is captured in this brooch. The natural mellow colors of this insect naturaully blend into any style. This beautiful embroidered and hand-painted brooch closely resembles the real thing and is a unique additional to any outfit. The brooch is crafted in black faux suede and velvet and embroidered and painted in yellow and white to create the real life texture of the White Tailed Bumblebee.

This stylish White Tailed Bumblebee brooch has a three-dimensional look and makes a statement pinned to a lapel, scarf or hat. It’s also a conversation piece in the home - why not attach one, or several, to cushions, curtains, even a lampshade?

These bees occur over much of the world but are most common in temperate climates. White Tailed Bumblebees are robust and velvety, average about 1.5 to 2.5 cm in length, and are usually black with broad yellow or orange bands with a white tail. They often nest in the ground, commonly in deserted bird or mouse nests.

This is perfect gift for any nature lover and someone looking to make an added statement in their fashion or an added touch to an object at home.

It measure 4cm x 4cm and is presented in a 9cm square gift box with information about the Bumblebee.

Due to the hand-crafted nature of the brooch, some very slight variations may occur. It is quite flexible and robust and some bending of the wings is natural during wear. The wings can easily be reshaped by hand, either by flattening or by squeezing the top wings together to enhance the three-dimensional look. To keep the brooch in good condition, avoid submerging in water and subjecting to high temperatures or prolonged periods of direct sunlight.
