The design inspiration comes from nature and life. Do you want to know why the designer of
Sunny Glassware used bees as the design element for the appearance of
candle jars?
If the bee disappears from the surface of the earth, man would have no more than four years to live. No more bees, no more pollination … no more men! --- Albert Einstein
He wasn’t an entomologist, but all of the real entomologists today agree that the sudden and mysterious disappearance of bees will cause serious problems!
Bees are one of the most hardworking and good team worker insect.
You can see them work anywhere as long as there is flowers. They work more than 10 hours a day, visit 80 to 200 flowers every time go out but only get 15 mg pollinarium. They need go out more than 66,000 times to get 1 kg pollinarium, and fly 360,000 to 450,000 km to get 1 kg honey. Each bee can provide just 0.6g honey in their whole life.
Bees are specialist pollinators.
All species depend on nectar and pollen on flowers to survive, and they are by far the most effective way for pollination. Bees live by flower completely, they collect pollen, nectar and make honey. There is no doubt bees make pollination when whey collect the pollen. When bees fly among the flowers, they take pollen to flowers and then make cross-pollination. The real value of the bees as pollinators is too much more than just make honey.
Bees brings us a sweet world, what is more they make our life with more aromatic.
A women who doesn't wear perfume has no future --- Coco Chanel.
However this is the same for a fragrance candle.
Imagine if your bedroom full any candle of Rose, Osmanthus, Violet, Michelia alba, Vanilla, lavender etc, won’t you have a good dream?
Imagine if your living room full any candle of cypress, Sandalwood, Cedar, Mint, Thyme, Iris, Musk, Vetiver etc, will you still tired when you sit with family after work home?
Imagine if your dinning room full any candle of Strawberry, Blueberry, Orange, Peach, cantaloupe, celery etc, will you still short of romantic dinner?
Imagine how wonderful life is if we can close to the nature so easily by the fragrance candles, unquestionable everyday is a sunny day.
What’s happening to bees?
The truth is bees reduced about 40% since the second world war, and the situation could be worse in the future. The main reason is Habitat loss and Overuse of pesticide.
Both through urbanization and the increasing need for more agricultural land, we are systematically destroying our woodlands, grasslands, forests, fields – all the natural habitats of pollinators.
Pesticides affect bees in a number of ways including their developmental rate, feeding behavior and even by affecting their learning process through neurotoxins, which impact their flower and nest recognition abilities along with their navigation skills. In addition, insecticides compromise their immune systems, making them more vulnerable to disease and parasites.
If bees disappear, there will be no more insect doing pollinate. Then there will be no flowers, no plants, of course no fragrance candle anymore.
What we could do for bees?
We have to thank bees for all of their sacrifice. In order to let more people know bees value to nature and appeal people to protect bees, we designed the bee jar. There is very distinguish bees body pattern show on the jar, the and jar container shape is imitate by part of the real bees body. We hope people can think of our aspiration and take action to protect bees personally when use the bee jar candle.
> Plant more flowers. (our bee jar can be a good flower pot as well)
> Use less pesticide.
> Purchase and use more honey.
> Become a beekeeper.
Sunny Glassware will take 10% of this jars order margin to plant flower from now on.
