The 2008 Blue Box portrays the gory end that befalls any drone bee ”lucky” enough to mate with the queen. Peter’s drone is reading his sex manual and has discovered the last chapter missing. The queen bee has ripped out the pages so that the drone will not learn the fate in store for him. The lid bears the Latin name for the European honey bee – Apis Mellifera. Peter’s initials with a reversed “c” can be seen on the leaf stalk. Within this signed and numbered limited edition are books that might be of interest to a bee, including “Honey I Shrunk the Kids”, “Pooh the Thief” (Pooh bear is always stealing honey), “Make Royal Jelly” (the special food to produce a queen), and “How to Waggle” (the special dance that tells other bees where to find pollen). The numbers 1 and 30 inscribed in the interior refer to the one in thirty people that are allergic to bee stings.
