Item Overview

Description

Honey bees play a crucial role in Ireland's biodiversity and cultural history, pollinating our crops, gardens and wildflowers. This painting was commissioned by An Post and features a honey bee foraging on a Linden tree blossom, one of the elegant trees that line our city streets. Honey from linden trees, also known as lime trees, is especially prized for its unique flavour, medicinal properties and sweet aroma. The next time you walk down O'Connell Street in spring, look up. The trees are buzzing with bees collecting pollen to take back to their hives on the rooftops of iconic buildings like the GPO.
