Why Honey Bee Christmas Ornaments?

Bee are a common theme in ornament making because of what they represent. With their tireless work ethic and reputation as “honey makers”, bees represent industry and sweetness. (Perhaps that is why you hear so many sayings or quotes about bees.)

Also, our fast paced world is quickly loosing connection with the natural world. When we take time to appreciate bees, we reconnect with nature – if only for a moment.

The memories of childhood Christmas trees and decorations are sweet for many of us. I remember favorite ornaments that would stay hidden in the box until “tree decorating” day.  It was fun to relive the stories associated with each one.

Modern Ornaments

Modern bee ornaments tend to have a lot of pizzazz and flash. They will sparkle and shine on an upscale stylish tree but will also look nice on a homey version.

You will see variations of the materials used to make these ornaments as well as some unusual coloring. Some are best suited for the fearless decorator who knows what he/she wants.
