Bee Pewter Necklace 'Plight of the Bumblebee' Bee

A charmingly detailed circular pewter necklace with a bee in the centre and the words “Plight of the bumblebee” around the edge. The bee is a symbol of sexuality, fertility, chastity, purity and care, the perfect gift idea for any nature loving busy bee! Save the bees The number of bees has declined rapidly since the 1940's and several species are now extinct. These declines have occurred because of changes in way the countryside is managed, the use of pesticides and the demand for cheap food which have hugely reduced the density of the flowers and plants that bees feed on. Without the industrious work of our bees and other pollinating insects, over one third of everything we eat would simply disappear. 5% of all sales of this item is donated to The Bumblebee Conservation Trust.
