What I like about this one is how much detail went into the honeycomb grid behind the bee. The cells are actually rendered with proper geometry, not just a loose impression of hexagons. The bee itself sits front and center on the comb, wings slightly spread, and you can see the body striping and leg detail clearly. Its the kind of design where people stitch it out and then lean in to look closer. Really satisfying to run on anything with a bit of weight to it.
Available in several sizes, stitch count is on the higher side because of the honeycomb fill. For this one I always recommend cutaway stabiliser because the honeycomb grid area needs something to hold against during stitching. Tearaway can work on thicker wovens but you risk some shifting on the cell outlines. Keep hoop tension snug and stitch speed moderate on the fill sections.
Kitchen things are the obvious home for this, cotton kitchen towels and apron chest pockets especially. A friend of mine put it on a linen pouch for a beekeeper birthday gift and it looked genuinely handmade and intentional, not generic. You can run the honeycomb cells in a warm amber and the bee in darker browns for a monochrome honey-toned look that works beautifully.
Drop me a chat note if the file isnt opening correctly and Ill sort it out fast.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
