Yes.  I attended the state beekeeping meeting.  Everyone was encouraged to bring any bee art projects that they had made.  No contest, just to share. 
Someone had made a beeswax sculpture and there were numerous quilting projects.  There were several other projects, but those were the most impressive.

Very cool, Logical... Maybe someone should educate the artist that bees don't fly around with their stinger out, though :)   :laugh:

There was a lady who made roses from bees wax would use the teaspoon and dip it in bees wax to form the pedals, then form the pedals around the wrapped stem wire.  you get 2 pedals of a spoon.
My daughter has painted and drawn bee drawings and paintings. Have also seen little bees made of black and yellow pipe cleaners that looked cute

I want to create some of my own "art" this summer! I want to make my own bee tree here on my property. They are just so magical!
Here's some new art I've been appreciating as well

Same here... the bees are so fascinating. And I'm using them to fend of demensia and alzheimers, because they always keep me guessing  :D

Good point.  Maybe a bat tops the bees though, IDK?
