Proceeds from the sales of this puzzle support Highbanks Society. Highbanks Society is a Calgary-based non-profit organization that provides individual family accommodation and integrated support services for young mothers (16-24 years of age) and their children. Over 500 teen mothers give birth in Calgary every year. Many of these teen mothers face isolation, poverty, low rates of education, and underemployment. The young women who reach out to Highbanks for help are typically on the verge of homelessness, too often as a result of leaving stressful, abusive homes and relationships.
Highbanks aids these young women and children with affordable housing, case management, food security, budgeting, education enrollment, parenting support, and daily living skills. Highbanks’ program platform is designed to shift young vulnerable mothers into a resilient life approach with a commitment to education, supportive beliefs, behaviours, and coping skills.
We encourage you to donate directly to the Highbanks Society!

Queen Bee - A Great Puzzle
Just love working this puzzle. There are a couple of surprises that lead you into a different direction. My husband is not into puzzles, but this one caught his attention!
A great gift.
Recipients really liked it and may be the next collectors.
Amazing Build
I loved each and every piece of Queen Bee. I didn’t refer to the picture, I wanted to savor the puzzle. I enjoy watching the image transform. The cut of the puzzle and the intricate whim whams. Every experience with Stumpcraft is exceptional. The quality, the artwork, the devious cuts. One of the other things I enjoy is the the deep dive section available on their website where I can learn more about the artist and other elements hidden within the puzzle. I enjoyed Queen Bee as a #puzzleitforward puzzle. This is a part of Stumpcraft that not many know about. Jasen and Siri will donate 1-2 copies of a puzzle to share with the puzzle community. These are sometimes referred to a traveling puzzles or pass along puzzles. Each puzzler sends the puzzle to the destination. It’s a great way to speed the love of wooden jigsaws.
