Product Overview

◾Very fine details through latest micro  minting ◾Featuring SeQrySign ◾ Partially gilded      

Laser technology has become  an indispensable tool in numerous branches of industry and is ideally suited  to create intricate detail and matt finish on metal surfaces. We strikingly  demonstrate the possibilities of laser surface refinement on our newest release   – the Shades of Nature Honey Bee.      

Bees are pure herbivores and  sustain themselves almost exclusively on sweet nectar. They collect  albuminous pollen as nourishment for their larvae. Some species even set  aside food reserves so that the whole bee colony is able to survive during  food shortage periods.      

Only the female bee has a  venomous sting which is also called its defence thorn. During the course of  evolution this tool developed from the egg laying organ. The sting is used to  lay eggs, as well as for defence purposes. The bee’s ecological importance is  immense since it not only produces tons of honey, but is also the most  important pollinator worldwide. Therefore, the continuing depletion of the  bee population could have serious consequences for mankind. Not only  biodiversity but also our successful harvest is therefore endangered.  According to calculations, the reduction in bee numbers could lead to annual  financial losses of billions of Euros.
