The lady that this was for has alot of hobbies/interests.....I narrowed it down to the honey bees and the gardening, oh and teh little "Cubs" insignia on the beehive "door". 12" round base, beehive is made up of 9" 8" and (2) 6" (top one tapered). Everything is buttercream except for the little bees (fondant). The lady who ordered it was very happy with it-as was I! TFL
