About the Bees at the Whitney Museum
Michele Benjamin created the iconic "Bee" design inspired by the Bees that produce "Flora" honey on the rooftop of the Whitney Museum, New York. Available in the Whitney Museum Shop since 2015 and at Bruce Museum Store, Connecticut since 2021. Her designs are worn by celebrities, art aficionados, and influencers, including Hollywood celebrity Susan Sarandon, and Pulitzer Prize winning art critic Jerry Saltz.
The Bee is representative of the Whitney family, a home for artists and art lovers, within an extended family intimacy and atmosphere at the museum itself; and the real hive located on the rooftop of the Whitney Museum that produces "Flora" honey, which "sweetens" the art world and our daily lives.
