Honey Bee is made of 46 individual pieces and measures 9 x 11 inches and is finished with zinc came.
A range of glass was used including opaque, transparent, semi-transparent, artique, water glass, and deeply textured glass.
I found this sweet poem by Emily Dickinson which I think perfectly suits it:
"The Bee is Not Afraid of Me"
The Bee is not afraid of me,
I know the Butterfly -
The pretty people in the Woods
Receive me cordially -
The Brooks laugh louder
When I come -
The Breezes madder play;
Wherefore mine eye thy silver mists,
Wherefore, Oh Summer’s Day?
