Bees are one of the most important insects in the ecosystems as we depend so much on them for pollination of many of our food crops. Bees also inspire a lot of jewelry designers!  Shown here are some of my favourite tutorials. Many of these talented designers have been featured before on my blog. Their shops are worth the wander.

The drop dead gorgeous bead embroidered bee kit shown above is from Tetyana of SellerOnlineCraft.

 The Art Deco style bee pin or pendant tutorial shown below is from DianeFitzgeraldBeads.


The seed beaded bee design tutorial below was designed by EzartesaJewelry.  It can be used to make earrings or pendants.  

I love how Svetlana uses other beads AND a hexagonal metal finding for her beaded bee earrings tutorial!  Her shop is CrystalLightStudio.

This bumble bee design tutorial by Irina of SunflowersandBeesART will make for a spectacular brooch!  

This spectacular beaded necklace features a single "queen" bee and beaded honeycombs. The clever tutorial is by Karen of WizardIslandDesigns.

Peyote/brick stitch fans will enjoy making these bee earrings. The designer is KikisBeadArts.


Flight of the Bumblebee by Yuja Wang 

The Flight of the Bumble Bee was just an orchestral interlude in a 1899-1890 opera by the Russian composer, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov. But it has since become part of popular culture as the music does capture the buzz of a busy bee. 

Many pianists have played this piece but none have demonstrated as much speed, precision and skill than the incredibly talented New York based Chinese concert pianist, Yuja Wang. Her hands are a blur for this much harder György Cziffra arrangement!
