One of my favorite parts of making the Bees is seeing where they land.

A collection starts with a single piece…then another catches your eye…and before long they’re climbing the wall in a sort of conversation with one another.

A collector sent me this photo, and I love how the Bees have settled into their new surroundings.

Share this with someone who appreciates a well-collected wall.

The truth behind our process…

People tend to imagine deep artistic discussions, carefully considered decisions, and sophisticated creative strategy.

Sometimes that’s true.

Most of the time, it’s just kids playing. The toys are simply older and more interesting.

Share this with someone who knows that play and creativity are often the same thing.

Today is Garbage Man Day, Eat Your Vegetables Day, Stewart’s Root Beer Day, and Crocodile Day.

I’m not sure who coordinates the calendar, but that’s quite a lineup.

The Bees would like a word because of course the real celebration is New Bee Wednesday.

Here’s your preview of this morning’s new pieces of art. They post at 10:30 a.m. EST.
Find your favorite and go through the checkout process before someone else claims it.

Father’s Day is Sunday, which means Garrett has been keeping an eye out for pieces that might speak to a favorite hobby, pastime, or lifelong interest.

This week’s Chef’s Specials:

For the dad who’d rather be on the golf course.
For the dad who never met a tennis court he didn’t like.
And for the dad who still appreciates a good pair of spectacles.

The best gifts often say, “I saw this and thought of you.” These and more will be part of tomorrow morning’s upload.

Every collection tells a story.

Having the opportunity to help tell those stories is an honor . This one happens to involve Crown Royal bags, miniature bottles, playing cards… and a few memories along the way.

When someone brings me a collection they’ve spent years building, I get to see it differently. Not as a group of objects, but as colors, textures, shapes, and little pieces of a life that matter to them. Turning those treasured pieces into Bees is one of my favorite parts of what I do.

If you’ve been collecting something for years, I’d love to see it. Share this with a collector who might have a future Bee hiding in plain sight.

Contrast is where the story lives.

Not in the orb itself, but in the collision between materials.

Once these spheres are cut apart, they stop being the subject and become part of a larger conversation.

A piece of fabric changes the mood… A new texture creates tension… An unexpected pairing sends the story in a completely different direction.

The orb is just the beginning.

What interests me is what happens when it meets something unexpected and together they become something neither could be on its own.

The first color photographs looked like magic.

On this day in 1907, Autochrome Lumière introduced the world’s first practical color photography process. More than a century later, we’re still collecting the world through color. Only today, we carry hundreds…or thousands…of color photos in our pockets without thinking twice about it.

This morning’s Bees are a reminder that color never lost its ability to stop us in our tracks.

Take a look through today’s collection, find the ones that speak to you, and be ready. The Bees post at 10:30, and the favorites rarely stay put for long. Don’t see the one on the website that stood out to you in this preview? It sold. Yes, that fast. Turn on your notifications. Set your alarms. The countdown begins.

Chef’s Special.

This week Garrett has assembled a colorful catch featuring rainbow fish, nautical finds, and enough beads to make a magpie lose focus.

They’ll join tomorrow morning’s upload, so if one catches your eye, don’t wait too long.

Share this with a Bee-loving friend who appreciates a little color.
