Is there a way to really get this quest? There is no such option when I talked to Delvin.
However, if I do other quest and I see an item, I took it and I can sell it to Delvin.
However, there is no quest that says, okay take queen bee statue for example.
Am I missing something?

This quest is unmarked, which means while it is tracked as a quest internally by the game, it does not show up in the main quest journals nor can you view completed objectives.
So the behavior you've observed -- no quest text or objectives -- is the correct, default behavior.
