Original artwork description:

I have many environmental concerns, one being the disappearance of bees. When I had a large garden I planted to attract bees and butterflies because pollinaters are critical to food production. We often don't want bees around for fear of being stung, yet there are many ways to be stung and many creatures who sting. Some with stingers, some with sprays and some with words.

This is watercolor, ink, pastel and colored pencil on 140lb. paper.
It has been coated with UV protectants.
