The reason why 20 May was chosen as International Bee Day is that Anton Janša, beekeeping pioneer, was born on this day in 1734.
Bees play an important role in the ecosystem, responsible maintaining ecological balance and biodiversity in nature, alongside other pollinators. About a third of the world’s food production around the world depends on bees.
Did you know? Some of these crochet bees were made for the exhibition on Broomfield House held at the Dugdale Centre in Enfield (Broomfield House used to maintain a beehive). Each been had a letter associated, and children were invited to find all the bees and decipher the anagram.
The winning entry is included in the photos (from Enfield Council website).

Crochet | Double Knitting Yarn
Materials Needed:
Oddments of yarn in black, yellow and white. Small amount of toy stuffing.

Tension is not crucial for this pattern, but should be tight enough that the stuffing does not show through the stitches.
Extra Notes:
This project can either be worked in rounds, joining each round with a slip stitch and starting the next with ch 1, or working in spirals (amigurumi-style) continuing dc stitches all the way round. The pattern is written in rounds; either method can be used.
The cute bee is worked in crochet, mainly using UK double crochet stitches (US single crochet). For a smoother transition between coloured stripes, work the first half of the stitch in one colour, the second half in the new colour.
