Blue Banded Bee
Amegilla

If you live in Australia, you have likely met these incredibly fast and curious tiny friends.

Blue Banded Bees are solitary bees and don’t live in hives. The females have a quieter life, living in burrows in the ground or holes in the mortar of brick walls, while the mischievous boys sleep in groups, holding onto twigs or grasses with their strong mandibles. At dusk, you may find the boys fighting for a good spot to sleep, and at sunrise, you’ll see them having a good stretch before they fly off to start their busy day.

With stripes ranging in colour from blues and greens to oranges and yellows, and even white, depending on the species, these skilled buzz pollinators play a critical part in our ecosystems.

Details:

The pendant is inspired by the male Blue-banded Bee, roosting on a twig, and features intricate hand-carved details.

  • 925 Sterling Silver (including chain)

  • Bee length: 12mm

  • Pendant length:(including bail) 22mm

  • Chain length: 42cm or 50cm (pictured is the 42cm)

  • Handmade in Australia

This pendant is made to order and usually ships within 5-7 business days.
