Easy How to Draw a Bee Tutorial and Bee Coloring Page
Below you’ll find an easy step-by-step tutorial for how to draw a Bee and a Bee Coloring Page. Those body parts a bit easier to remember if they are drawn from scratch.
Bee Drawing
You could have your students fill in labels on boring worksheets, OR you could have them learn how to draw a bee from scratch so they have to create all those body parts themselves. When they are asked to draw a “thorax” and “abdomen” themselves, they are much more likely to remember which part is which. That’s also true for recalling how many legs they have.
This bee also doubles as a good lesson in symmetry, as the right and left side should match each other. The thorax and abdomen are fairly easy to do, but those bent legs are a little more challenging. If fact, if anyone is struggling with them, I recommend that the end feet are ignored. A leg with one bend will look just fine too.
