Symbolism: 

The “Bee” is representative of the extended Whitney family, and the hive as symbolic of the Whitney Museum, a home for artists and art lovers;

the real beehive located on the rooftop of the Whitney Museum produces “Flora” honey, which “sweetens” the art world and our daily lives.

Gold Plating is applied to the silver. Do not use abrasives when cleaning the gold plating. Jewelry can be wiped with soft cloth and diluted dishwashing soap and water only.
