Handmade Honey Bee in Crochet

Plush Toy Honeybee

Nothing is sweeter than honey and that goes for this sweet plush toy "Holly Honeybee", hand-crafted in crochet, that I made for my Etsy Shop. Plush toy bees love to buzz around in my 'Land of Crochet'. 

This Honey Bee is handmade in crochet using yellow and black acrylic yarn. She measures 4 inches long and 4 inches tall, counting her wings).

Holly Honey Bee's wings are created in white yarn. She is softly filled with new polyester polyfil. Her features (eyes and a smile) are embroidered in yarn

 

Differences Between a Real Honey Bee and this Toy Honey Bee

• Real Honeybees live in hives of 50,000 or more bees

• Toy Honey Bee is happy to be a child's playmate and live in their home.

• Real Honeybees make lots of honey which beekeepers harvest for people to eat.

• This plush crocheted honeybee and other plush animals enjoy having a tea party with honey cookies and the children who enjoy them.

Bumble Bee and Honey Bee in Handmade Crochet

My crocheted bumblebees and honeybees are typically similar in color and not much different than each other! Plush animals can be anything the crochet crafter wants them to be. :-).

This cute board book is available on Amazon

Pooh's Honey Trouble

The best thing about honey bees is they make honey.  And no one likes honey better than Pooh Bear.  So it's not surprising that this sweet plush Honey bee's favorite book is “Pooh's Honey Trouble” starring her favorite character, Winnie-the-Pooh. Toy honey bee loves to read all about Pooh looking for his favorite honey snack in this fun 'touch-and-feel' board book. The book is perfect for babies and toddlers and plush toy honey bees.

Honey Cookie Recipe

 

Handmade Honey Bee doesn't really eat, but she would be very happy to keep you company at a tea party where you are serving some delicious Honey Spritz Cookies.  Sweet honey is the main ingredient in this recipe over at the Food Network.

Plush Caterpillars in Crochet

Toy honeybee and bumblebee are friends with other plush insects in my Etsy Shop, and we all know there is nothing cuter in the insect world than ones created in colorful yarn that are very friendly, soft and lovable.  Come to my Etsyland and check out a cuddly colorful caterpillar friend who sports five different rainbow colors and whose creation was inspired by the Baby Einstein caterpillar.  There is also a small 'stick' caterpillar in orange & yellow with a leaf on his head, inspired by the animated Tumble Leaf series.  A 'cute and cuddly bunch for sure.
