Introducing Her Majesty "The Queen"
The Queen Bee is the matriarch of the hive. Worshipped by the entire colony and fiercely protected.
After
making hugely popular Killer Bee and Super Bee designs in the past, we
knew there was only one more level that remained unexplored... The
revered monarch herself - the Queen Bee.
Unlike our Killer and
Super Bee decks, which feature a faint white halo around the deck's edge
- Queen Bees have no border. The Queens spill over the edge in their
glorious abundance.
Bees without borders
The design is a classic of borderless decks, repeating into infinity with bees that fly in opposing directions.
There
is but one break in this rule, the yellow bee that stands out in the
top left and top right corner. It accents the design and creates a focal
point for your eyes.
This little splash of yellow in a sea of
black looks stunning in fans and spreads, allowing the minimal design to
feel more 3-dimensional.
The white faces display custom pips that hold a sinister simplicity.
Each pip is arranged in a completely custom way, with a hidden hive represented in 1 pip of each number card.
This subtle hint is to compliment the Queen's geometric styling.
Inside the Queen's Court
Each
court card is custom, with connecting hexagons encasing an effeminate
design, like honey trapped within a single cell of the honeycomb.
The lines are thin and sleek but the aura for each court card is instantly recognizable.
The Queen demands luxury, specially selected matter, premium thickness card
Each
tuck is custom-made by a print house that specializes in intricate
details. We've outsourced this job to ensure that Queen Bees carry a
quality that can't be matched by anyone simply producing playing cards
on mass.
The tuck-paper is matte yellow and thicker than standard deck cases.
All details on the sides and front are debossed to create texture.
The back of the tuck is foiled in black stripes featuring the life-giving Queen, taken from the Queen of clubs within the deck.
Printed on famous E7 stock
Ellusionist was one of the first major producers to start printing with Cartamundi in Belgium.
During
that initial courtship, we asked for only one thing. A slimmer, durable
stock to match their already superior printing techniques.
They
worked hard to create E7 stock and it was launched with our Blue
Cohorts playing cards 2 years ago. The deck credited by many, for
switching their allegiance from USPCC to Cartamundi decks.
Queen
Bees have this very same stock, the stock we believe is the best for
magic, gambling, and card handling in general. Nothing feels better.
Why do we need Bees?
2019 saw the highest loss of Bee colonies ever recorded.
Over 40% - gone.
To
think that this doesn't affect you is wrong. Honey bees alone pollinate
$15 billion of the food we eat in the United States each year. They are
vital to our survival.
Aggressive farming techniques and a
reliance on devastating pesticides have been decimating the bee
population all over the world, causing CCD (colony collapse disorder).
Whole hives are annihilated almost instantly.
Our passion for
bees has led us to create this Queen Bee project. We hope that this deck
of cards can bring widespread awareness to these majestic insects.
