Many of the ornaments found on Our Lady's dresses are known to come from kingly gifts. No one seems to know for sure, but perhaps the emerald-and-pearl bee was an offering made by one of Polish kings or queens?
If you'd like to give it a closer look, then you've got a unique occasion to do it so only until 4 August. For the first time in history, the diamond dress has left the confines of the monastery and you can admire it at the [https://www.zamek-krolewski.pl/en/your-visit/temporary-exhibitions/Jewels "To Rule And To Dazzle"] exhibition at the Royal Castle of Warsaw.
