Over the years I have learned to LOVE Bees. I am fascinated by beekeepers and the work they do.
But also how our bumblebees are SO important to our planet. And how easily we can help save the bees by encouraging them into the garden by planting bee-friendly plants and flowers.
Some task in the North of Scotland! Where I live! but I'm learning and finding new and wonderful plants that bees will find attractive and will survive our cold north winds.
Also, I love that the BEE is also the Symbol used in the Bee Kind message, in regards to mental health and online trolling.
SO I HAve written a fun easy crochet pattern for a small BEE
