Description
This solar wind chime hangs a cheerful bee in bold black and yellow stripes above four copper-toned tubes, with a small flower-shaped pendant at the bottom to catch the breeze. The bee has a dark head with fine antennae, wiry legs and broad amber wings outlined in black, so its shape reads clearly from across a room. A solar panel is set into the top of the round copper cap that hangs beneath the bee. The chime is made from iron, glass and plastic, finished in yellow and copper, and measures 92cm long overall, 24cm across at its widest and 9cm deep.
Because it carries a solar panel and moves with the air, it is happiest indoors where daylight and a breeze can reach it: beside an open window, in a bright conservatory or sunroom, or in a light stairwell, hung from a sturdy ceiling hook. At 92cm long it suits a high ceiling or a tall window recess with plenty of room below, so the tubes can swing and chime without knocking anything. We think the striped bee and its amber flower bring a sunny, summery feel to a room even on a grey day, and it makes a cheerful present for a home that loves a touch of nature.
The bee hangs from a curled metal hook on a fine black chain, and three short chains beneath it carry the round cap, with thin wires holding each tube and a central line running down to the flower pendant. For care, dust it with a soft dry cloth now and then, wipe the striped body, the wings and the cap with a slightly damp cloth, and keep the solar panel clear of dust so daylight can reach it. Leave a little space around it when you choose the spot, and the bee will turn gently in the air whenever a window is open.
