International Yarn Bombing Day, June 9th, 2012

Saturday, June 9th, was International Yarn Bombing Day.

I knitted several bees to add to the Blue Trees near my work for Intl Yarn Bomb Day 2012.  The trees are for deforestation awareness so I wanted to add a few bees for bee awareness.
My first one didn't turn out too well.  I defied the pattern and did it in the round.  I don't think I put the wings on in quite the right place either.
I will follow the pattern for the next one.
I made 5 bees.  But I chickened out of adding them to the Blue Trees.  I've read quite a bit about some people thinking that yarn bombing is a bit like vandalism. 
After watching a couple of squirels stealing strawberries from our patch I decided to put them in the strawberry patch like scarecrows.  Hopefully they'll do the trick!!
