They also make honey (duh). But the honey bee’s amazing talents extend far beyond this vital task. Bees have a rigidly organized social structure that enables them to build and supply a living environment whose internal symmetry has been the envy of mathematicians for thousands of years. The colony itself is composed of three groups: workers, drones, and the queen. Scouted in advance by worker bees, hive locations tend to be in the cavities of trees, but also of rocks and occasionally in hollows of buildings and other man-made structures. Once the location is selected, the bees work together to build their new home before escorting their queen there. Beginning at the top of the cavity, the bees construct their hive comb by comb, layer by layer. The upper part of the hive is reserved for honey storage. Pollen is stored in the rows of cells beneath this. Lower down are the cells where new workers and drones are bred. The queen’s quarters are at the bottom. The beehive, home to the honeybee, is built around an amazing structure, the honeycomb. This superb construction is a mathematically perfect matrix of hexagons that optimizes spatial coverage while minimizing the amount of construction material required for building-a feat of engineering efficiency that is virtually unmatched in the animal kingdom! The hive is composed of parallel honeycomb layers made of hexagonal cells that are one of nature’s most mathematically precise animal-built constructions. The individual cell walls are formed from secreted wax that is arranged into perfect hexagons whose six walls, each of exactly the same width, meet at precisely 120 degrees. The cells themselves are angled slightly upwards to help contain the honey, pollen, larvae, and eggs they are made to hold. The legend HONEY BEE, hidden within the honeycomb, indicates the theme.

Author, poet and critic, and a key figure in American Romanticism and Gothic Horror, Poe is one of the most famous figures of American literature. In his short life, Poe made crucial contributions in an array of literary fields, including science fiction, detective stories, and, of course, tales of mystery and the macabre. One of his most famous works, “The Raven”, was first published in January 1845. This narrative poem tells a tale of death, loss, grief and eternal devotion. “The Raven” describes the laments of a young scholar, who, reeling from the death of his lover Lenore is visited by a raven who talks, albeit with an extremely limited vocabulary. The bird can croak only the single word “Nevermore, ” which becomes the refrain of the poem. The work propelled Poe to stardom, and remains one of the world’s most famous, most read, and most anthologized poems to this day.

This numismatic work of art has a strictly limited mintage of a mere 299 coins! “The Raven” is a narrative poem by American writer Edgar Allan Poe. First published in January 1845, the poem is often noted for its supernatural atmosphere, musicality, and stylized language. It tells of a distraught lover who is paid a nocturnal visit by a mysterious raven that repeatedly speaks the single word Nevermore. The lover is lamenting the loss of his great love, Lenore. Sitting on a bust of Pallas Athena, the raven antagonizes the young man with its repetition of the word Nevermore. The poem employs folk, mythological, religious, and classical references, making it a tour-de-force that is accessible to the average reader. Edgar Allan Poe was a writer, poet, editor, and literary critic who is best known for his poetry and short stories, particularly his tales involving mystery and the macabre. He is widely regarded as one of the central figures of Gothic fiction in the United States and an icon of American literature. Poe was one of the USA’s first successful practitioners of the short story, and is generally considered to be the inventor of detective fiction. In addition, he is credited with contributing significantly to the emergence of science fiction. He is the first well-known American author to earn a living by writing alone, which resulted in a financially difficult life and career. Poe lived the life he wrote about, and in turn his life experiences are reflected in his works. His wedding to Virginia Clemm in 1836 raised eyebrows for several reasons. Not only was she his first cousin, she was also only 13 at the time of their marriage! Virginia had been named after her dead older sister, who had passed away at the age of two years just ten days before Virginia herself was born! The disease and eventual death of his wife Virginia had a substantial and serious effect on Edgar Allan Poe, who became despondent and turned to alcohol to cope. Watching her struggles with illness and eventually death affected his poetry and prose, where dying young women appear as a frequent motif, as in “The Raven”, “Ligeia” and “Annabel Lee”. Famous for his moody, atmospheric horror fiction, especially his short stories, Poe gained even more notoriety upon his unexplained death at the young age of 40. The cause of his mysterious passing remains unknown and has been attributed over the years to many causes, including disease, alcoholism, substance abuse, and suicide. Born in Boston, Poe is most associated with the city of Baltimore, Maryland, so much so that Baltimore’s NFL Team is named the Ravens. And it’s a raven that sits carved atop Poe’s grave marker in Baltimore. The titular Raven, perched next to the bust of Pallas Athena, cries NEVERMORE. The skull in the arch above our raven is a creepy touch. His Majesty, King Charles III, in profile effigy facing left. This portrait was executed by the engraver Jody Clark.
