Bees symbolize sociability and industriousness. Tireless workers, bees put the sake of the beehive before their own, and don´t hesitate sacrificing themselves for the community.

Bees live for the species. That´s why we thought we´d prepare also a Maori styled version: the stylized korus on the wings represent a new beginning, but also imply that life continues beyond the individual, e.g. in our children, and the stylized shark teeth used on the body represent strength.

The bee was requested by Silvia.
