Green Sweat Bee Heart Necklaces
Units in Stock: 3
These necklaces are made with a real bee in them - the Bicolored Striped-Sweat bee, Agapostemon virescens.
These unusual pieces of jewelry make unique gifts and are a great conversation piece.
The Bicolored Striped-Sweat bee, Agapostemon virescens, is just one of the more than 4,000 different species of native bee that live in North America. Native bees are essential to healthy ecosystems and it is important that we do our part to conserve them while we still can.
This species, the Bicolored Striped-Sweat bee, is a fairly common species throughout the eastern US. That doesn't make it any less important to the environment. The bee specimens used in these necklaces were part of an important biodiversity study that is now completed. The information gained from scientists collecting a sampling of specimens from native bee populations during these biodiversity studies can help provide the data needed to conserve and protect native bees and the habitats they live in.
These necklaces provide a visible reminder of how important the small creatures that often go unseen are to a healthy and functional environment. If you choose, you can give these bees a new home and new purpose.
No bees were harmed to make these necklaces.

*Please note - all bee specimens are unique and may have slight imperfections since they were collected after dying and NOT killed for making jewelry. The individual bee you get may vary slightly in imperfections, position, or coloration, from the ones in the image (or if you're the first to order it may be the exact one pictured). Please keep this in mind and be kind to the bee you receive.*
