These 9cm by 9cm hardboard coasters have a practical high gloss finish and feature a simple pattern of Early bumblebees and White tailed bumblebees.

The design was created using detailed ink and watercolour illustrations painted for the Types of Bee poster. Early bumblebees and White tailed bumblebees are recognised as being among Britain’s ‘Big 7’ bumblebees meaning that they are some of the most prolific. They are widespread and common meaning that everyone should stand a chance of identifying these bees in their locality. The coaster was designed to complement the Bumblebee Pattern Bone China Mug. These coasters can make lovely gifts for nature lovers, wildlife enthusiasts, gardeners and entomologists and make an attractive addition to any home.

The coasters are lightweight and wipe clean, making them practical as well as pretty. They are 9cm by 9cm square with stylish rounded corners and are approximately 3mm thick. Each order is hand packaged and I try to make every one special. Each order contains a business card and a handwritten note of thanks.
