Hi Roy and All,
 
Best of the Season to You & Yours!
 
Could anyone identify the insect and plant on this stamp for me?

I only assumed it was a HoneyBee when I passed on the "news filler" and the
HoneyBee  would be shown with some plant of importance to man, but  this
looks more like some kind of "yellow jacket" and a bindweed or morning
glory plant.<G>
 
I guess this proves that postage stamp art is all in the eye (of the
beekeeper), remembering the poorly colored embossed 15 cent envelope bee on
the orange blossom of a few years ago.
 
The OLd Drone still has some of these embossed stamped envelopes and would
be happy to include them in his Christmas Special:
 
two (2) hand painted and crafted chain pulls
one (1) Pooh fan fold book
one (1) Embossed stamped envelope (US Government Issue)
 
All for $20.00, I pay the postage USA, Canada add postage, all others
forget it unless you can afford the
postage which I am sorry it is too much, IMHO.
