Such a great pen - I love mine. I gave the Rollerball to a friend who has/had a beehive - bummer though... Last year he got stung a few times and unfortunately ended up getting an anaphylactic reaction to it. Luckily he had a friend visiting with an Epi- pen as he was in northern Vermont, far from a hospital - VERY lucky guy. Had to give the hive to another friend nearby so he can still get some of the great honey though!
Chris, You just made my day as I take a rest from fixing the sprinkler system to have a bite to eat. Thank you for finding time and energy to give us another great review on remarkable pens. May your ink flow easy and keep shimmering in your life. 🇨🇦
I have never considered a Retro 51 fountain pen. I have a few Tornadoes from the original iteration of the company. Back them they did introduce a fountain pen and I found it lacking in almost every aspect. That being said, this pen now intrigues me. Perhaps not the bees but if the quality in this pen is an example, I should consider getting one. Very good review, Chris.
Beehives! I wasn't expecting that. Kudos to you for supporting a vital part of our ecosystem.
Such a cute pen! I’d love one because I highly respect our bees.
I have the ballpoint. Need to get the fountain pen. Love everything bees!🐝
Yep-I got both AND the notebook! So much fun and beautiful!

Fun pen, and a great review. 👍🏼
Thank you kindly!
What a nice pen, I love the translucent bear on the finial. You should have used KWZ Honey to ink it up! 😀

Very good review, Chris.
Didn't realize this has texture on it...Photos do not do this pen justice. 🐝 Love the bees and the pen 🐝
I have many of their ballpoints. The Buzz is one of them. My latest is the Pan Am which is amazing if you are an airliner enthusiast like I am.
Really nice. Has that special buzz going for it :) Enjoy.
Yes it does.
New Jersey has one of the highest concentrations of black bears per capita.
And is the most people per square mile. Not the best combo.
Greetings from Australia.
It's a good pen.
Where is the company based?
Is there a link in the video somewhere?
Retro 51 is in Texas, USA. retro51.com/
