Flying from flower to flower, the honey bee collects pollen, floral oils, and the nectar that is turned into honey at the hive; as it moves about, it provides an essential pollination service that helps plants grow and reproduce, ultimately contributing to one-third of the foods we eat.
Known to be efficient both in instinct and design, the honeybee and its comb are beautifully adorned with yellow gold plating on this 99.99% pure silver coin, which, fittingly, features the popular hexagon coin shape that mimics the natural design of a honeycomb cell, widely considered to be nature’s perfect structure.
A honeycomb-shaped showcase.
