YEW WOOD HONEYBEE FOUNTAIN PEN
We all know how important bees are to the human race. Bees are attracted to the pollen of the male Yew Tree. As well as the honey bee pocket clip. There is also a bee engraving on the end of the pen section with a centre band decorated as a honeycomb. The pen is capped by a beehive. This particular pen has Chrome Plated fittings. The detail on the hardware of this Honeybee pen is striking with a finely detailed depiction of a bee.
The nib has an iridium point, and the pen comes in a black velveteen pouch (or the chance to have a black velvet pen box as an added extra) and ink cartridges to get you started.
Please make sure that you inspect all of the pictures as this is the pen that is for sale and the one you will receive.

Despite how hard and dense Yew it is a softwood (“hardwood” and “softwood” does not refer to the texture but the type of tree). It has a good straight grain and a yellowish colour. Yew is one of the oldest living trees and are often found in Churchyards, where is a number of cases are older than the actual church itself. The trees can live to 3000 years old although those over 1500 years are more common. It was the main timber used for Longbows during the Middle Ages. Yew is also used for fine furniture and cabinet making, particularly as a veneer.
According to popular belief, it was beneath a Yew tree, aged over 2500 years old, at Runnymead called the Ankerwycke, that King Henry VIII courted Anne Boleyn and in some versions of the story he might have proposed to her under this tree.
