How to draw a bumblebee
Buzzing Greetings, Doodle Dynamos! Today we're taking to the skies for our next doodle inspiration – the bumblebee!
Step 1
Draw a couple of overlapping circles for his basic shapes.
Step 2
Add some ovals on top for his wings and some dangly ovals below for his legs. Throw in a stinger if you’re feeling pokey.
Step 3
Add some antennae an top of his head, some stripes on his body, two dots for eyes and a little bee smile.
Step 4
Color him in! Yellow and black is classic but feel free to do purple and green.
That’s a doofy ‘lil buzzer!
Now, let's delve into some buzz-worthy facts about bumblebees.
Furry Flyers: Unlike other bee species, bumblebees are large and furry. This makes them excellent pollinators, as pollen sticks to their fuzz quite easily.
Speedy Wingbeats: A bumblebee's wings beat 130-240 times per second. That's what I call buzz-tastic speed!
Social Creatures: Bumblebees live in colonies led by a queen. These colonies can range from 50 to 500 individuals. Talk about a buzzing party!
Bumbling Navigation: Bumblebees have a special way of navigating - they use landmarks to find their way. If you doodle a bumblebee, maybe add a landmark for it to navigate by!
Essential Pollinators: Bumblebees play a crucial role in our environment by pollinating crops and flowers. Your doodle pays tribute to these tiny ecological heroes!
