The “Bee Keeper Collector’s Box” was released in a limited quantity of 500 for the anniversary of B’Day<\/em>, but does not include any vinyl records from her catalog <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n \n\tIn the past, Beyonc\u00e9 hasn\u2019t celebrated any milestone anniversaries of her albums as thoroughly as she has B\u2019Day<\/em>. Her second album \u2014 which turns 20 years old today, which is also her 45th birthday \u2014 received an ambitious extended release that includes remixed and remastered recordings, plus previously unreleased music. Leading up to the anniversary, Beyonc\u00e9 launched pre-orders for a deluxe vinyl being sold for $150. It will pair well with the wooden box she\u2019s also selling for the low price of $948.01.<\/p>\n \n\tBey Hive members took a break from the anniversary celebrations to gawk at the \u201cBee Keeper Collector\u2019s Box,\u201d released in a limited quantity of 500. Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s official website clarifies that this item, an 18 inch by 14.75 inch by 14 inch box handcrafted from solid pine wood and lined with green velvet, does not come with any vinyl records from her catalog. But it does have a faux gator-skin leather carrying strap with gold hardware, if that counts for anything.<\/p>\n \n\tSome fans think the box is a test to see how far the Bey Hive is willing to go for their Queen Bey. While it doesn\u2019t appear to be sold out yet (pre-orders are still live at the time of writing), a few have been claimed by fans who proudly posted their confirmation email on social media. Others have slammed the release as exploitative. \u201cI hope you guys are not going to have this lady make half a million dollars by buying those 500 empty boxes,\u201d one user posted on X<\/a>. \u201cIf you do, she\u2019s not the one who lost her mind.\u201d<\/p>\n
