Beryllium Copper Nibs - The Bumble Bee

I have been working on the design of the nibs and have decided to choose the bumblebee as my subject. What inspired me to do this were the actual and attributed symbolic characteristics of this extraordinary insect. The bumblebee is a small miracle of nature: too heavy, too round—and yet it flies. The bumble bees’ paradox is its compact power, tire-less motion and beauty born of defiance.
