Queen Bee

Gouache, 4 x 6 inches, 2006.

One of the 'Kings and Queens of Old England' series of miniatures.

The Queen Bee was an obvious one as a subject for royalty, but I've made her rather more alien-looking than the others, in keeping with the alien qualities of insects. Also she is pregnant - of course she is pregnant, the queen bee has no purpose other than to make more bees all her life.
