Bees

Print bees visiting flowers, exploring gardens and flying near hives. Choose roomy flower pictures or detailed scenes with blossoms, berries, leaves and honeycomb.

Seven big cells or a flower-filled window?

Pick a clear shape-counting task or many smaller garden details.

A bee hovers above seven hexagonal honeycomb cells beside a small flowering sprig.

Count the hexagons

A bee spreads four veined wings above seven hexagonal cells and a flowering sprig. Start here for a short, countable task.

Count, then color seven cells

Print the original line drawing linked below. The numbered areas match the color key and steps; use the colored example as a starting point, then choose your own colors if you prefer.

Digital coloring example

White-bodied bee with four blue wings above seven golden hexagons and three pink flowers.
A digital color suggestion, not a photograph of a printed result. Open the original line drawing to print and try your own colors.
  • 1. Golden cells
  • 2. Blue wings
  • 3. Pink flowers
  1. Find the central cell and its six neighbors. Fill all seven interiors golden yellow, leaving the narrow double-line borders white.
  2. Color all four wings pale blue without covering the vein lines.
  3. Color the three blossoms pink, including their centers. Leave the bee's head, body bands, legs and antennae, and the plant's leaves and stems white.

Count seven yellow cells and four blue wings. The bee's uncolored body is an intentional stopping point, not a missing step.
