Leave Those Beans Alone!

So that's who has been chomping on my vegetables!  A fun little pattern from the Birds, Butterflies & Beautiful Beasties book, together with a 'mini-me', both to be used in an animation.  Now can anyone tell me how to set about knitting a bee-hive?

I love finding little surprises when out walking the dog.  A pair of bright sunflowers in the middle of a bean field fall into that category.

Was it a bird that dropped a seed or was it planted together with the beans? We'll never know!

N.B. Just as well I photographed the sunflower when I did - when I went there the next day, I discovered it had been ripped up by the roots and shredded along the pathway. There are some nice people around here....
