Skep Beehive With Three Buzzing Bees
Coloring guide
Three little bees with big smiles and round antennae fly around a classic dome-shaped skep beehive. The hive is built from stacked, rounded rows with short vertical lines, and a small arched doorway sits near the bottom. It rests on a wooden platform held up by two slanted legs. Along the bottom, tall grass tufts and three flowers frame everything: a large daisy-style flower on each side and a small one in the middle. The bees are striped and have simple rounded wings, so little hands can color them without much fuss. The wide hive rows are good practice for staying inside the lines. Golden yellow and straw-brown suit the hive, and soft pinks and purples on the petals help the bees stand out. It's a free PDF that prints easily at home or in class. Add this to your Bee coloring page collection, alongside Puppies and Cats.
