Sources of UK insects (honey bees) in resin/acrylic blocks

[Kittih]

Hi all,

I am looking for a supplier of honeybees and other British insects (wasps, hoverflies, bumble bees etc.) in resin or acrylic to use to in an educational display for children and adults. Does anyone know where I could get some or have them made?

Ebay and Etsy etc. are full of exotic insects from other countries but I can't find any selling British insects, especially honey bees.

Thanks.

Hi there, welcome to the forum. ��

The only insect preserved in the way you suggest that I am aware of is an Asian hornet (bee pest imported to Europe a few years ago) sold by Thornes here:

You might try contacting them so see where they source from and if they could get what you need, perhaps as a special order....

Thank you. I will give them a call.
