This fun little item was presented to participants of the Simucon 2015 Spelling Bee by GM Haliste. These cute little pins are character attuned.

LOOK:
Incredibly lifelike, this delicate bumblebee pin has an unusually glossy sheen.  Two small antenna protrude from the top of its head, and alternating bands of yellow and black with a band of white at the base make up the insect's body.  A pair of translucent wings wobble back and forth with the slightest movement.  The entire piece sits snugly within a silver casing that has an attached clasp used for securing the pin to the wearer's clothing.


There appears to be something written on it.

READ:
In the Common language, it reads:
~ Elanthian Spelling Bee 5115 ~

The creator has also provided the following information:

TOUCH You touch the bumblebee pin gently, and its tiny antennae wiggle back and forth slightly. XXX touches her bumblebee pin gently, and its tiny antennae wiggle back and forth slightly.
Mispell a word

Suddenly, your bumblebee pin springs from its clasp and begins to buzz annoyingly around your face. Just when you think it's going to fly away, it dives toward you and stings you right smack on the end of your nose. OUCH!
As the pin miraculously positions itself back against its holder, you are reminded that the appropriate way to spell "turamzyrrian" is "Turamzzyrian."
