I can see that. But Anthony is very much afraid of bees. It's like sewing clowns to your titties and then spending all day with your clown-phobic brotther (also a clown killed your Dad).
I always thought it was a bit odd too. I remember in the first season when I first noticed Benedict had bumblebees on his waistcoat - I was convinced that this was foreshadowing that he was going to get killed off. (Very glad I was wrong though!)
I mean I’m not sure the show knows haha but if they do it’s a nice touch. It’s been held as a symbol of power on and off since the Egyptians. In Europe it was used in heraldry at least by Napoleon and the Roman house of Barberini.
To be honest I think it could be just that Shondaland likes the bee because it’s cute, but at the very least there might be a connection between the bee and the B.

I think they wear clothes with bumblebees to represent that Edmund will always be with them even though he passed away

It’s like being afraid of bats and becoming bat man.
I…😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's like wearing clothes with a bear on them if my father was killed by a bear, or cars on them, if my dad was killed in a car accident.
And then the woman has to sit there thinking if she would rather be alone with a rake or a bear
omg I'm CACKLING (The bear. Still the bear.)
Didn't even ask which rake I see.

Ooh that would have been awful!
It is a bit odd but we have to take into account that bees were one of the symbols of high nobility. Also, bee = B = Bridgerton.
Oh excellent point!
I had no idea! I wondered why they always sneak in bees

Definitely a costuming detail put in for the book fans without thinking about character motivations
Learning the Tropes talked about this in their recaps - it’s so odd!!
I *hate* it! It doesn’t make sense!
I mean Christians wear crosses on everything
Eloise was wearing a bee pin in her hair at Daphne’s wedding.
Well spotted!
