You can crochet this toy with your favorite yarn - cotton, acrylic, plush yarn and your favorite crochet. The height and width of your toy will depend on the thickness of the yarn and the hook.
For crocheting honeycombs and a large bee hive, I recommend aran yarn, it is tough and will keep its shape well - yellow 80 yards, red 10 yards , orange 10 yards, green 10 yards , light blue 10 yards , blue 10 yards, purple colors 10 yards.
For crocheting bees, you can take a softer yarn cotton 50%- acrylic 50% good twist-361 yds330m / 100gr- red 40 yards , orange 40 yards, yellow 40 yards, green 40 yards , light blue 40 yards , blue 40 yards, purple colors 40 yards.
If you do not have aron yarn for crocheting baskets - honeycombs and a large beehive. Use yarn in 2 additions.
Using the recommended yarn, the Bee measures 7 cm /2.5 inches in length and 15 cm/6 inches in diameter. The length and diameter are safe. There is no risk of suffocation. The honeycomb basket is 7 cm /2.5 inches in diameter. Large basket-Honeycomb Beehive 22 cm/8 inches in diameter
