The Story Behind the Pattern
The inspiration for "Bees Like Pears" came during a warm summer afternoon in the garden. While watching bees buzzing around the fruit trees, I noticed their particular attraction to the ripening pears. There's something magical about that relationship - the industrious bees helping pollinate the trees that will eventually bear the sweet fruits they love. This natural harmony inspired me to capture that moment in a pattern that celebrates both the hardworking pollinators and the delicious fruits of their labor.
I chose a watercolor style to give the pattern a soft, dreamy quality that echoes the warmth of summer days. The golden yellows of the bees complement the fresh greens of the pears, creating a palette that feels both natural and cheerful.
