Honeybee Craft

Tools and Materials

Yellow construction paper
Coffee filters
Pipe-cleaners
Wiggly eyes
Popsicle sticks
Scissors
Glue
Brown marker pen

Instructions

1.	Using the yellow construction paper, draw and then cut out a circle for the bee’s head, a slightly larger circle for its thorax and a longer oval for its abdomen.
2.	Glue the three pieces along a popsicle stick, from smallest to largest, making sure they overlap each other slightly.
3.	Colour brown stripes on each section.
4.	Cut the coffee filter into four “pie” sections. Glue the pointed end of two sections onto each side of the bee’s thorax: these are its wings.
5.	Stick two wiggly eyes onto the bee’s head.
6.	Cut two pieces of pipe-cleaner and attach them to the bee’s head: these are its antennae.
7.	You can make different sizes of bees to represent worker bees, drones and a queen.
