Using red yarn, stitch the wings onto the back of your bee.
Insert the exposed chenille stem of the antennae into the head at rounds 15-16 with approximately 6 or 7 stitches between them (in line with each eye is a good rule of thumb). Secure in place with a dab of glue at the back. If you opted for the alternative antennae, stitch them onto the head.

Stitch the arms onto the sides of the body at rounds 15-16 (above the top stripe).
Weave ends.
