*Note: You may end up with an extra stitch at the end of your rounds, just carry on crocheting as usual. It won’t affect your project. When you are finished crocheting, weave the ends of the yarn into the body for a neatly finished bee.
Why Pollinators Matter
Pollinators, like bees, are essential to life on Earth. They are responsible for pollinating over 75% of the world’s flowering plants, including one-third of the food we eat. Unfortunately, pollinators face numerous challenges, from habitat loss to climate change. Your support helps The Bee Cause Project educate communities and create pollinator-friendly spaces to ensure the survival of these vital creatures.
