As Monk says, here's what happened: Kathy was convinced in her gut that it was Veronique, so I rethought my theory. She was the one with total access to everything and I finally figured out a motive that made sense to me.
1--Julia wasn't the intended victim. Her outburst came AFTER the statue had been placed. And the motive for killing J would have been that she knew the secret of her father.
2--In order to move the statue without scratching anything and account for the bees that bit Bean, Veronique would have had to spread the sugar on the marble before the statue was set on the marble. The crane operator wouldn't have noticed because it was white on white. She had opportunity because she had access to lots of sugar; it wouldn't have seemed strange had she been seen carrying it. AND she was the beekeeper, so she had an excuse to be out there in the evening.
3--For the motive to have been other than Julia's outburst, it would have to be something that was coming to a head. I think that was Colleen's crush on Pierre. And Colleen was the only one who could be counted on to be near the statue. The jealousy had time to build, as opposed to if it had been Julia as the intended victim.
4--All V had to do was wait for Colleen to come garden; maybe she mistook Julia for Colleen. V would have only had to push/slide the statue on the gooey melted sugar and let the rain wash away the evidence.
Ta dah. What do you think?

Damn, I wanted it to be one of the family members, even Peter. Shoot.
