Bees are an easy way to start a talk about where food comes from, since they carry pollen from flower to flower and help plants make fruit. Kids can color yellow and black stripes, see-through wings and golden honey. Bumblebees are fuzzier and rounder, while honeybees are slimmer and more golden brown. The pages fit spring, garden lessons and World Bee Day in May.
Honeycomb has many six-sided cells. Kids can color every other cell in gold and orange, or use a yellow highlighter over crayon for a glowing honey look. Add a dotted flight path from the hive to a flower with a black pen.
Fun facts to share while you color
- Honeybees make honey from the nectar they collect from flowers.
- Bees carry pollen from flower to flower, which helps plants grow fruit and seeds.
- Honeybees do a wiggly waggle dance to tell other bees where to find flowers.
- A honeybee colony has one queen, who lays the eggs.
- Honeycomb is made of wax cells with six sides, called hexagons.
Ways to use these bee pages
- Count the hexagons in a honeycomb page and color them in a pattern.

- Make a classroom hive by gluing everyone's colored bees around a large paper honeycomb.
