Ireland's Bumblee's
White tailed bumble on a 3-Dimensional anemone.
A fully 3-Dimensional anemone flower, hand embroidered into wire and mounted in a frame. A felted bee with embroidered and painted details stitched into the flower.
 
On the Island of Ireland we have 21 bumblebee species, all distinct and all under threat from a decline in habitat and feed sources. Each bumble is unique in its behaviour and feeding habits and this can be seen in their different sizes, shapes and facial structures.
A bumblebee isn't 'just' a bumblebee. They are individuals that play an important role in nature.
