On September 2, 1988, the USPS issued a stamp celebrating BEEKEEPING and honoring BEEKEEPERS. Shown here is a genuine First Day Cover, an envelope with the stamp depicting a honey bee on a clover blossom cancelled from the city of issue (Omaha, NE) on the first day of issue captioned above.
The brown-toned cachet (artwork on the envelope) features the three different bees...queen, drone and worker, as well as a beekeeper at work. The company that produced this cover has also written a commentary about the honey bee, which we've included.
Double matted in green & white, it's sized to fit a standard 8 x 10 picture frame. ***Certificate of Authenticity plus Commentary Included***
