Bee hive at Kew Gardens, London, February 2017
You can see the magnificent hive structure in its more natural format over here.

A colourful note: the Purple Mountain’s Majesty crayon was named as part of Crayola’s 1993 naming competition, set to celebrate the company’s 90th anniversary. The poetic name comes from the lyrics of a patriotic American song, America the Beautiful.
Once again, I’ve cheated a little on the depiction of this shade. A purple bee hive may not be entirely realistic, but bees do have soft spot for purple plants.

Love your take on the bee hive. I’m sure the Bees would enjoy the change in hue!
