Cut the yarn long enough and weave the yarn tails into the blanket except for the center yarn tail.

Take an extra piece of black yarn and make a smiling mouth on
your bee.

Place your bee in the center of the blanket and thread the yarn
tail through the bottom of the bee then though the blanket,
repeat this until you have stitched the bee on all the way around
and if it doesn’t feel secure stitch around the bee again.
