Spring has finally arrived! And nothing says spring like bees. So that got me thinking of an adorable bee doll. This doll, though, isn’t only a bee, she also transforms into a bee-hive. Of course, just like all my other topsy-turvy dolls, she flips into another form. Make her as the Queen Bee herself or one of the worker bees, either way, she’ll be adorable.

Some have called it a Topsy-Turvy, reversible, or 2 in 1 doll.

This pattern was fully tested by testers with varying levels of experience.
