Bee stamp

Philatelists interested in a particular subject are very exciting and exceptional people. They collect specific postage stamps, covers, post cards, postmarks and other types of philatelic goods. Sometimes subjects of their collection are quite unusual, for example, bees.

There are thousands of bees on all continents (Antarctic excluded), that’s why quite a lot of countries issue postage items devoted to these creatures.

For example, March 3, 2011, Switzerland issued an unusual bee stamp called Honey bee, which looks like a cell:
bee stamp 2

May 6, 2010, Germany issued a bee stamp called Honey Bee (Apis Mellifera) on Flowering:bee stamp 3

It is a bee stamp depicting bee fertilizing a flourishing flower.

First Day Cover (FDC) is a quite interesting philatelic item as such. For example, Rare Bees and Wasps in Liechtenstein FDC was issued on June 2, 2008, in Liechtenstein:bee-stamp-5

Two stamps show bees on that FDC, the remaining one depicts a wasp. The postmark contains the image of a bee.

A souvenir sheet can also be issued as an additional product. It underlines all advantages of the stamp and can be considered as an interesting philatelic item as such. Thus, Republic of Belarus issued a souvenir sheet called Insects on June 3, 2004:
bee-stamp-1

It contains a lovely bee stamp.

October 20, 2005, North Korea issued a souvenir sheet called The Life of Bee:bee stamp 4

Collecting of stamps and other postage items on a particular subject requires a lot of time and energy, especially if collector wants a particular bee stamp. We believe we will be very helpful in such difficult yet interesting work.
