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 ~
