Pollinator perfection

Struck from 2oz of 99.99 % pure silver, this spectacular coin with an antiqued and coloured finish pays homage to one of Earth’ s most remarkable insects.
The western honey bee, scientifically known as Apis mellifera, derives its name from Latin origins. ' Apis ', meaning ' bee ', and ' mellifera ', meaning ' honey-bearing ' aptly describes the species ' ability to produce and store honey, a characteristic that has made it one of the most significant and widespread honey bee species in the world.
Armed with specially adapted hairs that form saddlebags on their hindlegs, honey bees are among the most efficient pollinators on Earth. They ' re responsible for flowering about three-quarters of the world ' s plants and for pollinating about a third of human food supply.
