Easy video to follow. I enjoyed making this and I think my watermelon loving grandson will love it. I'm not the best at sewing so i struggled with the wings not knowing the best way to sew them on but I think it turned out ok.
Oh.my.goodness!!!! How adorable is that bee?!!! We are beekeepers and my kids would love these. 😍 I need to finish making Ned and then try one of the melon bees. 🍉 🐝
Awwww, I would love to keep bees! Thank you for doing your part in keeping these gorgeous creatures are with us. I have heaps more bee designs I am soon sharing here, but if you have any ideas for a bee theme I would love to hear from you x
Hi there, sorry for the late reply. I do have tutorials for normal striped bees and different sizes too. It really is up to you how many stripes you want to have and I would say 2 to 4 rows would make a good stripe width. With this bee there are 18 rows of stripes from the start of the white to the end pale green on his beehind, so you could do the following rows - 3black, 3yellow, 3black, 3yellow, 3black, 3yellow, then make his beehind black. Hope that helps
Let me check - it really depends on the yarn and hook combination you use but the smaller bee is approx. 8" or 20cm long and the large bee is approx. 15" or 37cm long. I hope that helps :)
Hi there. I buy my eyes on AliExpress.com - you can purchase all sorts and sizes very cheaply but they do take a while to arrive in the post. You can also get boxes with a variety of eye sizes in them. In most cases for the smaller bees I use a 9mm, then 12mm, then 14mm - for the super big bees I use 20mm or 25mm. If you are in the USA I believe that Joanns , Micheals and Hobbi Lobby sell them too. Hope that helps :)
Ok, the Bernat Blanket yarn should be available from many of your craft stores like Joannes. The pink variegated yarn is only available in Australia but I believe the Bernat velvet yarn is similar
@@Vanessa-re6ij hi again. I have researched alternative yarns that might be readily available to you. I will leave a list in the description and I’m sure you’ll find one of these pretty easy :)
Hi! I need to make smooth butt for my plush, how can I do finish part then? Can u please help me? Also can you measure bee’s width and height(cm)? I really need thatt! If you answer me I’ll be glad.
Hey there. Finishing the bee with a smooth butt is super easy. You will just decrease every round evenly by 6 stitches until 6 stitches remain and then sew it closed. I have other bee tutorials that show how to do that (Chonky Bee, Pride Bee). I will measure the bees and let you know the dimensions in a few mins :)
MEASUREMENTS approx. SMALL BEE (milk cotton yarn): Length 15cm (6")+stinger, width 12.5cm (5"), circ/around 40cm (16") LARGE BEE (Bernat blanket style yarn): Approx. length 38cm (15")+ stinger, width 25cm (10"), circ/around 71cm (28") The sizes are dependent on the yarn type and hook size used. The pride bee tutorial shows the x4 size bees I have tutorials for (28st around, 36st, 48st and 60st). Hope that helps :)

If I want to use this but with 'normal' stripes, where would be the stripe changes? I cannot figure it out.

Is the smaller bee had the same steps like the big one? Pls help me answer this
Hi. Yes. They simply use different thickness yarn :)
It looks great! Can you tell me the size of the bee in inches or cm? ❤️
Let me check - it really depends on the yarn and hook combination you use but the smaller bee is approx. 8" or 20cm long and the large bee is approx. 15" or 37cm long. I hope that helps :)
Hi Alex I am working on my bee and I was wondering where do you get your eyes and what for the different sizes of bee

Hii how many grams of yarn did you used on each colors?
Hey there. Hard to say, but I bought a large ball of each colour and had plenty left . Hope that helps
Oh these are so adorable. I tried to google the chenille yarn and I could not find it. ☹️
Hi there. What country are you in? I will see if I can find a way of getting the yarn :)
@@makeitwithalex4483 hello again. I’m in the United States. West Texas to be exact 😀

@@makeitwithalex4483 hi Alex. Thank you so much. I appreciate the help ☺️
what if I don't have light green?
you could use a bright green, pale yellow, or just create even rows of white and dark green. Hope this helps :)
