Bee-Shaped Book
-
Take yellow card stock and draw a bee's body. Then on another sheet of yellow card stock, draw the bee's head. Use the first bee body you drew to trace the other pages of your bee book. Cut all the bee body shapes out of the card stock paper. Staple all the bee bodies together. Glue the bee head only to the first bee body. Use the white printer paper to draw the bee's wings. Cut out the wings and paste them onto the back of the bee book. Draw the bee's black stripes onto the first bee body. Add the bee's antenna. Fill in the story line to make a complete bee-shaped book.
Free Bee Candy Dish

Use yellow card stock to draw the bee's head. Use black card stock to trace the bee's legs, antennas and stinger. Use white paper to draw the bee's wings. Cut them out. Take a foam, plastic or paper bowl and paint it black. Allow the paint on the bowl to dry. Glue the head on as well as the legs, antenna and wings.

Foam Bee Pin
-
Take scissors and cut ¼-inch by 6-inch strips from black and yellow foam. Roll the foam strips together, on top of the other. Put glue on the inside between the two and glue them together as you roll them up. When the glue dries, glue a black pom-pom to the side where the strips end. Use pipe cleaners for the bee's antenna. Glue on googly eyes of the bee or draw them using a black marker or crayon. Cut out wings from white foam and paste them onto the back of the bee. Put a self-sticking pin on the back of the bee.
Craft Spoon Bee
-
Inexpensive wooden spoons can soon be honeybees. Cut out bee wings from yellow fun foam. Cut black pipe cleaners in half for the bee's antennas. Paint a wooden craft spoon yellow with black stripes. Paint on the nose and mouth as well. Glue the bee antennas to the back of the head. Glue on googly eyes and the wings. Tiny, black pom-poms can also go on the end of the antennas.
