What inspired Caroline to create these buzz-worthy designs? It all started with a love for nature and a desire to highlight the importance of bees in our ecosystem. Based in Forde Abbey, where beautiful displays of flowers attract these vital pollinators, Caroline was inspired to supersize our bumblebee necklace due to popular demand.

Drawing inspiration from her children's favourite family film, The Bee Movie, Caroline saw an opportunity to raise awareness about environmental issues, particularly the threat to our bee populations. With neighbours who own three bee hives, she's witnessed firsthand the importance of sustainable beekeeping and the crucial role bees play in pollinating our wildlife.

But it's not just about raising awareness – it's about taking action. As an office, we participate in initiatives like No Mow May, doing our part to protect our planet and its precious inhabitants. A healthy lawn with some long grass and wildflowers benefits wildlife, tackles pollution and can even lock away carbon below ground. Best of all, to reap these benefits all you have to do is not mow your lawn in May and beyond!

And let's not forget that Our Queen Bee Collection is made from recycled sterling silver, adding an eco-friendly touch to these iconic pieces. From the intricate detailing to the heartfelt inspiration behind each design, our Queen Bee Collection is a true labour of love.

As you adorn yourself with our buzz-worthy creations, remember that you're not just wearing jewellery – you're making a statement. Stay tuned for the next and final instalment of "Behind the Designs," where we'll continue to unravel the stories behind Caroline's captivating creations.

Until then, embrace the buzz of the Queen Bee Collection and let its whimsical charm inspire you on your own journey of environmental stewardship and style! 🐝
