The Baby Bee bedding collection is a great choice for those interested in high quality gender neutral bedding in a Bee/Bug theme. Baby Bee is an extraordinary value at between $180 and $220 for a four-piece crib set, given the high quality fabrics and workmanship used in this collection. The Baby Bee bedding collection is available as a four-piece crib set, which includes a quilt, 4-sided bumper, crib skirt, and fitted sheet. The collection is machine washable. There are coordinating accessories available within the collection, with an exception being wall border, an accessory commonly available with most crib bedding patterns. There are several pillows offered in the collection to accessorize the bedding. The quilt, commonly used as the centerpiece of a crib set, is elegant and understated. One of the characteristics of Brandee Danielle bedding is that premium quality fabrics are almost always used in creating their stunning bedding collections, and Baby Bee is no exception. The quilt is made from four fabrics: a woven black seersucker gingham to add light texture, a woven leaf green gingham, a woven cornflower yellow gingham, and a white sateen which features the bees after which the pattern is named. The most notable feature within the Baby Bee pattern is the superior quality fabrics used. The three patterned fabrics are all woven, meaning differently colored threads are woven together in order to create the pattern; this is far superior to fabrics with printed patterns as used by many competing brands at this price point . Set against the white sateen are hand sewn embroidered bees, featured on the quilt, bumper, pillow, and other accessories. The astounding aspect of the bees is the intricacy used to create each individual bee. The wings are made from a soft chenille fabric that adds a realistic look to the bee. The back of the quilt and fitted sheet are both made from a soft brushed cotton fabric. The bumper is 10" tall with both top and bottom ties. Another highlight of the Baby Bee collection is the bumper comes in four separate pieces; however, there are not zippered covers to make washing easier. The crib skirt features a 15" drop and is primarily comprised of the white sateen fabric with a black gingham and cornflower yellow trim. Unfortunately, for Canadian consumers purchasing from a United States online retailer, the Baby Bee bedding collection is manufactured in China. Customers in Canada would be required to pay import duties of as much as 18% of the stated prices.
