Message any beekeeper or garden lover you know because this is exactly the kind of thing they pin on every board and never actually find as a stitch file. Three hexagons outlined in a cluster, not filled in, just the open cell structure. One bee sitting on top where the cells meet, wings spread, stripe detail clear. A second bee near the lower right panel. Then a cluster of large open flowers, petals and daisy-style blooms, anchors the whole bottom-left corner with leaf sprigs spreading outward.
Two colours only, black and a tiny bit of white on the bee stripe. Wilcom ran pure outline style so every petal, every wing vein, every hexagon edge is a satin running stitch line rather than a fill. Thats what gives it that botanical illustration quality. The density sits lower than a fill design at this size, around 21k on the biggest, so its actually quite a quick stitch for how detailed it looks.
I get questions about this one from people doing honey-themed products, which makes sense. But its also popular for garden-themed home goods and spring market stock. Back in april a customer stitched the 5-inch file onto natural linen napkins for a farmers market and sold every set the first weekend. The open outline on linen really does look like it was drawn there by hand, its a kinda suprising result for a machine file.
Best on natural fabrics. Linen, cotton muslin, unbleached canvas, all brilliant. Use a tearaway backing under woven fabrics and hoop tight because fine outline stitching needs steady tension or the lines shift. Skip heavy pile fabrics, the line detail disappears. Run the flower section before the bees as the underlay coverage builds left to right. Check your needle regularly on the bigger size as the stitch count is still moderate and running a blunt needle dulls the line quality.

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.
