I'm perfectly happy with my little gardenia bee pin, it was worth the price to me. But I don't need any more.

I have to admit after posting my dismay at the increased costs of the little bees, I broke down and purchased another one after all. After reading about the gardenia bee which seemed to please most everyone and gardenia being my mother's favorite flower, I had to add it to my collection.

As a Pediatric/NICU rn,( retired now) BJ was my name as it was easy for anxious parents and children to remember and I could wear one or two on my shoulder or in my hair without a worry about breaking a sterile field. So, I have been a fan of the little bee for years and currently the real life little guys need help out there. In my area there are individual and co-op bee keepers who are trying to revive and increase the bee population. So I try to support them and their efforts as much as possible. I wish I could have a hive or two but one needs LOTS of green space,etc for that to be successful.

The bees worldwide are in serious trouble. Thank you for helping the bees!

The little gardenia bee pin is now on waitlist. I'm so glad I got it when I did. It's a little treasure.

Because Joan is gone and they only have a limited time they can fetch a tidy price for her creations, soon her ideas will be used up and you will be supporting David's ideas and supporting Melissa so she doesn't have to work.

Three guesses and the first two don't count...

I suspect the reasons already posted are correct (because they can!).

I hope David Dangle (sp?) reads this. I have several dozen bee pins, and I wear them, but the $50.00 price range on the new ones are just too high.

Instead of "hoping" David reads your comments, why not actually make your thoughts known on his facebook page?

Sadly, I wouldn't hold my breath for the prices to go down, no matter who reads what or where they read it.

It wouldn't matter to me, I won't be getting any more. One is enough, although I've bought others as gifts in the distant past.

Super nice post. I enjoyed reading it, and I agree with everything said!
