Mechanical Bee

“Mechanical Bee” got a prize too: third place in the “Unique Concept” category.

The coin is the first issue in the “Clockwork Evolution” series and features a half real and half mechanical bee.

Did you know that bees are extremely important to the environment? Not only they produce honey, they also sustain biodiversity by providing essential pollination for a wide range of crops and wild plants! Unfortunately, over the past ten years, beekeepers have been reporting unusual weakening of bee numbers.

We must act now to protect this important insect, but in the worst case scenario we should also start thinking of a way to replace it. Will Mechanical Bees be part of our future?
