Gucci has a number of animal, plant, and insect motifs on its designs, and the Bee just happens to be one of their most iconic motifs. The Bee motif forms a Gucci Garden trio alongside the other ultra-popular motifs of the Tiger and the Kingsnake. They could be called the mascots of the brand at this point.  The Bee motif was especially popularised not just because it had a unique Renaissance look to it, but also because the symbol of the bee symbolizes themes of love and attraction.
