This artwork by Fred Enock achieved an unexpectedly high price at Christies in London in April 2011. In the Travel, Science and Natural History auction, the work The leaf cutting bee: twenty-eight diagrams showing the anatomy, and habit of the bee as it cuts a rose leaf sold for GBP 10,625.00 (€ 11,965.58) - well above the upper estimate of GBP 5,000.00.
