Bee 3147 — a precisely rendered steel insect, a symbol of diligence, community and order. The stainless steel construction and four surface variants let you match the detail to a specific gravestone.

The bee is one of the oldest grave symbols in Europe, and it returns to gravestones today for very specific reasons. It stands for diligence, order and a life devoted to the community — qualities that are easier to show in an image than to describe on a plaque. Model 3147 is most often chosen by beekeepers' families, but also by those close to people whose lives were simply work for others.
The detail here is exceptionally fine: you can see the segmentation of the abdomen, the shape of the wings and the proportions of the body. This level of detail calls for precise cutting and hand finishing of the edges, because on small elements every burr is immediately noticeable. Stainless steel allows a thinner material without losing rigidity.
Production begins with a sheet of marine-grade stainless steel. Thanks to its molybdenum content, this grade resists the conditions that ruin ordinary steel: salt, moisture and acid rain. We laser-cut the 3147 shape, grind the edges by hand and finish the face in your chosen variant. Nothing here is done by shortcut. Unlike cast decorations or ones printed from plastic, each of our designs is cut from solid sheet metal, so the detail does not crumble or fade.
Key specifications at a glance:
The choice of finish is the question our customers ask most often, so briefly. polished shines and catches the eye — a safe choice for dark stone. satin is matte and practical, because marks left by rain are less visible on it. Black gives a graphic contrast on light surfaces. gold is the finish for special commissions. It keeps the grave decoration's detail sharp even in the smallest elements of the design. Lead time depends on the chosen variant: 3 business days for polished and satin, 7 days for black, 21 days for gold.
Two mounting systems are available. On pins — pins glued into drilled granite, a completely invisible fixing, a solution that lasts for decades. With double-sided tape — quick, with no intervention in the stone, ideal for smooth, polished slabs. Illustrated instructions are included in the package with the product. Care is simple: a damp cloth, or a mild detergent if needed. Avoid abrasive sponges and chlorine-based products. We give a 10-year warranty against corrosion on our acid-resistant steel. We have gathered all available designs in the category gravestone decorations; see also what we offer in the section openwork plaques.
We make model 3147 in sizes 7x11 cm, 10x15 cm and 13x20 cm. Go by the width of the free space on the plaque. If the decoration is to sit alongside a photo and an inscription, stay with the smaller or medium size. Reserve the largest size for gravestones on which the motif is meant to carry the whole composition. A paper template held against the plaque is the quickest way to decide — it takes a moment and saves a return. Our advisors are available by phone Monday to Friday.
On dark stone — Swedish black, Impala granite, Star Galaxy — the polished finish works best. The mirror-like surface reflects light and clearly sets the shape apart from the background. On light granites and sandstones, the black finish gives stronger contrast. Satin is the all-round option: it does not shine, does not catch reflections and looks good at any time of day.
It can be done without drilling as well. On a smooth, polished slab, mounting tape is entirely sufficient — the whole job takes a few minutes and leaves no marks in the stone. If you want a completely maintenance-free fixing, ask your stonemason to mount it with pins. An illustrated instruction is included.
It is one of the most common reasons this model is ordered. A single bee reads clearly and universally, and if you want to emphasize the connection with the apiary more strongly, we will prepare a custom composition with a hive, a honeycomb or several insects in the arrangement. A sketch or description sent by email is enough.
