They also symbolize focus. This luminary also features the red rose, the most popular color among roses. The red rose symbolizes love and admiration. This one-of-a kind luminary is sure to provide a new sense of focus and love with bumblebees and flowers that will never truly die.
Bumblebees are deceptively clumsy insects who knock over flowers with their weight, covering the flowers with bee pollen. They operate at lower temperatures than honey bees, so they are usually the first bees seen in Spring. They are important pollinators, flying in weather too cold for honeybees and pollinate the flowers that are inaccessible to the honeybee.
The first bumblebees of the season are large because they are known as the “queens” who nest build and forage for food. These bees don’t sting unless highly provoked. They contribute immeasurably with the pollination of wildflowers and crops. Bumblebees don't make a lot of honey, but they eat pollen and nectar- like from roses. In addition to roses, bumblebees feed on crocus, tulips, hyacinth, lupines, and foxgloves before roses are available for the season.
The flowers featured in this luminary are flowers from Rosaceae, which are single flowered roses. They comprise approximately of 3,400 species and is found around the world.
