Bees are one of the most beneficial insects on the planet, helping to pollinate plants and produce honey. They are very important pollinators for many plants, and they play a key role in the production of honey and other products. Bees have four wings and six legs, as well as two antennae, which are used for communication and orientation in space.

How to Draw a Bee

Draw the head.
Let’s start the lesson by first drawing the outline of the head. To do this, you can imagine a circle that has a slight bulge at the top, which will be the front of the bee.
Add the eyes and antennae.
Draw two round shapes on either side just below the convex part of the head, which will serve as the eyes. Then add antennae in the form of two wavy lines.
Draw the thorax.
Next, you need to draw the bee’s thorax. Add a circle that is slightly larger at the bottom of the head.
Draw the legs.
Bees use their legs to move around flowers, collect pollen, and navigate inside the hive. Bee legs should be drawn as slightly curved sticks.
Draw the wings.
The wings of a bee are large enough and to make it easier to draw, they can be depicted as two semi-ovals that are interconnected. Draw the other side in the same way. Then add some lines on the wings to give them volume.
Draw the abdomen.
Next, at the bottom of the thorax, draw the abdomen, which has the shape of an elongated oval.
Add stripes.
At one of the final stages, you need to add the stripes on the body characteristic of most bees.
Color your drawing.
By analogy with the drawing presented in the lesson, color your bee.
