Description
The beehive, home to and
engineering feat of the honey bee, is built around an iconic structure: the
honeycomb. This amazing architecture is
a mathematically perfect matrix of hexagons, optimizing spatial coverage while
minimizing the amount of construction material required for building - an
achievement of engineering efficiency that is virtually unmatched. With all the effort and talent that goes into
hive-making, you could say that “busy as a bee” is almost an understatement!

Design:
This coin was designed
by Canadian artist Yves Bérubé. It features a painted honey bee standing atop
a flower blossom, its head bowed to collect precious nectar that will sustain
its colony. The design is layered over
an embossed honeycomb of perfectly symmetrical hexagons, which cover the entire
polished silver field of the coin’s reverse. The reverse also features the word “CANADA,”
the date “2013,” and the face value of “3 DOLLARS.”
Packaging:
Each coin is
encapsulated and presented in a Royal Canadian Mint-branded maroon clam-shell protected
by a black sleeve.
