LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!! This is an amazing early print of 3 large Bumble Bees! This one is from a very old book, circa 1860. Of course this would be fabulous just framed, but I think it would be wonderful to use this in a garden themed project. I've also included a second version with just the largest Bee minus the background image. Notice the caption is for Humble Bee... interesting!
