 I’ve known about the general importance of bees as pollinators, but in researching them to make sure they were a Spring-appropriate subject, this website showed me I had no idea how much there is to know:

SPRING BEES PAPER BY PSU

I had a leftover piece of faux watercolor with smooshed Distress ink that worked perfectly as the base layer for this card. On the top layer I die cut the honeycomb twice and then stamped the leafy branch in two shades of green.  I blended green along one lower side, and blue at the top and opposite side. All items are foam mounted.  Wings of bees are covered in Stickles Frosted Lace glitter glue.  I glued the white honeycomb cell borders back in. Black word strip is from Creative Expressions.
