Beautiful Bee!
This cookie mold looks so beautiful in my kitchen and I am so happy to have it, so it gets 5 stars as a decorative piece.  As a cookie mold, which after all is its purpose, I give it 3  stars,  although I'm still figuring out how to best use it.  So for me it averages 4 starts.  I find the mold could be improved by the maker.  First of all it is rather big and yields a big cookie.  Because the bee is so much deeper than the rest of the cookie, it's tricky to bake.  You want to make sure the bee is cooked enough, but you don't want the rest of the cookie to burn.  I wish the honeycomb was carved deeper, because it's hard for that definition to come through after the dough has been packed into the mold, released and then baked, which causes the cookies to spread.  I did of course freeze my cookies before baking them, but they still lost definition.  It can be tricky to release the cookies.  I find it helps if the dough is very cold when you first pack it into the mold - I divide my dough into balls and put each ball in the freezer 10 minutes before I go to use it.  It's also easier if the mold itself is cold, and brushed very generously with confectioner's sugar.  Finally I run the tip of a sharp knife all along the edge of the cookie and gently pry it out with the knife or a toothpick.  Banging the mold on the counter is more difficult and could cause the cookie to tear.  I hope these ideas are helpful to someone!
