8 oz of yellow fondant
2 oz of black fondant
1 oz of white fondant (for eyes)
Edible glue or water (for sticking pieces together)
Powdered sugar or corn starch (to prevent sticking)

Instructions

Prepare Your Work Area: Start by dusting your work surface with powdered sugar or corn starch to prevent the fondant from sticking.
Shape the Body: Take a small piece of yellow fondant (about the size of a marble) and roll it into a ball. Then, gently elongate one side to form a teardrop shape for the bee’s body.
Add Stripes: Roll out small pieces of black fondant into thin ropes. Cut these into small segments and gently press them onto the yellow body to create stripes.
Create Wings: Roll out a small piece of white fondant and cut it into a wing shape. You can also use a heart-shaped cutter to make this step easier. Make two wings and attach them to the back using edible glue or water.
Make the Face: Roll tiny balls of white fondant for the eyes and flatten them slightly. Add black fondant dots or small balls for pupils to give your bee a cute face.
Final Touches: Attach the eyes to the head of the bee. You can also add tiny antennae using small strips of black fondant if you like!
Let Them Set: Allow your fondant bees to dry for a bit so they hold their shape well before decorating your cakes or cupcakes!

And there you have it! Sweet, charming fondant bees that will definitely steal the show at your next baking event. Happy decorating!
