ANSWER: DODDZ
I have this adorable set of bees, they are signed but I never saw the signature before. I have been researching it for months, the closest I find is Dodds. Could it be Dodds or Doddz? Only the earrings are signed. I can't find any images of Dodds mark or much about the company.

"According to Dotty's site, they used both marks. Yours looks like Doddz to me!" --Lilly Vittetow, 01/16/09
"It looks like a backwards S or Z to me so I would vote Doddz." --Cynthia Fore Miller, 01/16/09
"Yes, those are Doddz...your little bugs are featured in Julia C. Carroll's book "Collecting Costume Jewelry 202" on pg. 308...she dates them to the mid-1960's." --Lenae Williams, 01/16/09
"Glad you found my Jewel Creations album. Take a look here and see if these are like your Bees. This is the design that I was setting and selling (as Bobye's Bugs) and can no longer get the findings. I have loads of those big pear shape rhinestones.
