This is an easy, children-friendly origami bee in a flying position. Bees are the most industrious creatures, always hard-working and contributing to the community.

In addition, they are also beautiful and eye-catching because of the vibrant colors on the body. You will find the finished origami paper bee is super vivid with the two large wings with a sharp butt. We recommend drawing some lines with vibrant colors for a better look.

This origami bee can only be viewed from the front as an education project or in an origami book.
