Description
As part of the campaign to educate the public on pollinators, the most recently adopted symbol of Minnesota—only in 2019—is the Minnesota State Bee: the Rusty Patched Bumble Bee. A formerly obscure but not uncommon species, Bombus affinis is now famous for its dramatic decline and has become the embodiment of the endangered pollinator.
Dimensions: 9 x 12 inches
Art is unmatted and unframed.
This is original colored pencil art made with Polychromos Colour Pencils by Faber-Castell, an oil-based colored pencil that contains less wax than most colored pencils and therefore suffers from less wax bloom than most (in which the wax rises to the surface, dulling pigments over time). The pigments are acid-free, with the highest lightfast ratings in the industry. The majority of the colors are rated at the highest fade resistance of 100+ years, with a few rated at 25+ years.
