Create a felt bumble bee collage using a background of adhesive felt attached to foam board. Cut flowers, leaves and stems from adhesive felt and attach to the background. Use yellow adhesive felt to cut out the bumble bee body parts. Add stripes and other body details with a black permanent marker. Place the bees on the flowers or in the area above the flowers. Use white fabric paint to add wing outlines to the bumble bees. Frame the finished collage.
Create a large, hanging bumble bee from papier mâché. Blow up three small balloons to create the bee body. Make one balloon smaller to use as the bee's head. Cover the balloons in four layers of liquid-starch-soaked newspaper strips. Allow each layer to dry completely before adding the next. Paint the body with yellow and black acrylic paint, and then spray it with paint sealer. Add antenna and wing shapes made from chenille stems attached with hot glue. Add a hanger to the bee by using a large needle threaded with monofilament that you push gently through the bumble bee body then tie off in a knot.
Make a three-dimensional bumble bee sculpture out of tissue paper and pom-poms. Use fan-folded tissue paper and chenille stems to create large flowers. After fan-folding layers of colored tissue paper, wrap a chenille stem around the folded paper and twist to secure. Unfold and fluff out the paper to create the flowers. Use three small yellow pom-poms glued together to create several bumble bee bodies. Add details to the bees with black fabric paint. Attach the bumble bees to the flowers using hot glue.
Study scientific artwork from nature such as that created by Audubon or DaVinci. Consider adding text in calligraphy lettering to note the scientific names of or notes about the bumble bees and flowers in the way that DaVinci sometimes did. After practicing sketches of bumble bees and flowers, use waterproof art ink to create detailed drawings of the bees and flowers. After the drawing dries, use thinned watercolor paint to paint a light wash of color over the bumble bee and flower drawings. Allow to dry and then frame the watercolor art.
