Good Morning, not been on for a while, but looking for advice on any ideas with a Bee Theme that I can make.    Our local MacMillan Cancer Care have been gifted a plot of land which they hope to make into a beautiful garden.   They are having a fundraising event to raise funds with a “Bee Theme”.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    If you look back on the 'I will use my stash' thread there is a photo of a chocolate orange bee cover (knitted)

    Maybe an idea here?

    I think you could use rope glued on a flowerpot. sadly we don't have the US dollar stores!!

    Certainly lots of ideas here, but it wants me to sign in! Wooden spoons painted black & turned into bee ornaments right near top- on R

    painted stones to look like bees

    make candles in empty egg shells in yellows

    This one is aimed at children's activities- maybe have a 'make-it' table with nominal charge per item made? 
    Wooden pegs painted black & yellow with filter paper (or tissue?) wings.

    Honey flavoured fudge always goes down a treat!
    Googling on your question might have been both quicker and easier, if you're only after simple facts rather than opinions!

    Thanks for your suggestion I know what you mean but I m not sure I’d be able to make something like that.   We have made wee bee hives with a sweetie inside, paper hankie covers with a bee on them, coasters, and some floral wreaths.   Hope they will raise some funds for MacMillan Cancer Care.🙂
