The hook is cast in recycled brass with detailed bee anatomy: wings, stripes, and antennae are modeled after a real queen bee. The brass has a warm, golden tone that develops patina over time — a natural oxidation that makes each hook unique. Doing Goods focuses on sustainable materials and fair-trade craftsmanship.
Measures 10.5 x 3.5 x 5 cm and can hold keyrings, lightweight jewelry chains, towels, or aprons. Mounted with screws (not included) — use wall plugs for drywall or brick. The brass casting is sturdy enough for daily use in entryways, kitchens, or bathrooms.
Care and maintenance
Wipe with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasives and acidic cleaners. Patina is natural — polish with brass cleaner if you want to maintain the golden shine.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between recycled brass and new brass?
Recycled brass is melted and recast from existing brass items (e.g., old fittings or instruments). It requires 95% less energy than extracting new brass from ore. The quality is identical — the alloy and durability are the same.
How do I prevent the brass hook from turning green?
The green patina (oxidation) is natural and harmless. To avoid it: polish the hook every 2-3 months with brass polish or lemon juice + salt. Alternatively, you can seal the surface with clear spray paint — but then you lose the lively brass glow.
Can the queen bee hook hold a heavy keyring?
Yes, the brass casting can easily support a standard keyring with 5-10 keys (approx. 100-200 g). Make sure to fasten it securely with wall plugs if the wall is drywall or hollow brick.
Is a bee hook a good gift for a family with children?
Yes — especially if the family is interested in nature or sustainability. The bee shape can spark conversations about pollination and biodiversity. Pair it with a book about bees or an insect hotel for the garden.
Does Doing Goods produce under fair-trade conditions?
Yes, Doing Goods works with small workshops in India under fair-trade principles: fair wages, safe working conditions, and no child labor. Their products are handmade by local artisans skilled in traditional casting techniques.
