Rust Metal Bee Xl
In our catalogue you’ll spot some rustic honeybee décor, but this big bee really is a standout. Rust Metal Bee XL is our go-to for centrepiece wall displays - indoors or out - and it draws a crowd at trade fairs too. Not just the scale (34x0.64x26cm) but all those carefully-cut openwork lines of wings and segments that echo through any space. Hand-finished with a variable rustic coating, each one comes through with its own take on earthy orange-browns and deeper patina shades.
Some retailers do ask about outdoor suitability, and we always say: display them on the garden walls or fences! Just let buyers know that the patina can shift if left exposed - some see this as adding character but we’ve had at least two trade show clients prefer to keep them inside for that reason. There’s no right answer here – it’s all up to how end buyers choose to live with their hand-finished bee art.
