These are real preserved blue carpenter bees housed in a display case.
Scientific name: Xylocopa caerulea.
This beautiful specimen is a species of carpenter bee that is commonly found throughout Southeast Asia, India and Southern China.
The display case will come with a base as pictured. The cases are easy to open up by pushing down where it says 'push', so you can remove the bee and either re-frame it or use in your own entomology art.
If you or someone you know loves bees, insects, oddities and curiosities, then this is the perfect choice to add to the collection.
These bees have been sourced from a sustainable insect farm.
Due to being a natural item, the bee may show imperfections.
