What Is the Story Behind the Bee Collection?
A Legacy of French Craftsmanship and Napoleonic History
Founded in 1475, La Rochère is the oldest continuously operating glassworks in Europe. The Bee collection pays homage to Napoleon Bonaparte, who adopted the bee as his emblem—a symbol of immortality, industry, and the resplendent landscapes of Provence.

From Molten Glass to Masterpiece
Each Bee Coffee Mug begins as a blend of sand, silica, soda, and lime, melted at over 1,400°C. Skilled artisans gather the glowing glass with a blowpipe, shaping it into mugs that capture light and charm. The result is a mug that is as durable as it is beautiful, designed to be cherished for generations.
