On the magical afternoon of Monday, May 29th, 2006, Mr. Bumbles entered our lives.  He touched our hearts with his playful nature, and inability to escape the confines of a window display.  

Mr. Bumbles, with his favourite Styrofoam cup.

Mr. Bumbles soon found comfort under the boundaries of a Styrofoam cup.  There, Mr. Bumbles told us stories of his travels, who he had met, where he had been, and to where he was going.  Unfortunately, Mr. Bumbles would not be able to live his dreams of destiny, as his health took a turn for the worse. 

The final resting place of Mr. Bumbles.

Mr. Bumbles was discovered on the afternoon of June 1st, 2006, within his favourite Styrofoam cup.  He passed away painlessly in his sleep.  While some believed he was simply a typical bee, we knew deep down that Mr. Bumbles was someone special.
