Here you will find bee clipart for every buzzing project: a chubby bumblebee, a true-to-life honey bee, a spelling bee helper, golden honeycomb, a honey jar and a cozy hive. Each picture is cut out with a transparent background, so it rests on yellow paper, a slide or a jar label with no white patch.
A tap on Download PNG keeps a bee on your computer, while Copy sends it straight to your open file. The background preview shows each bee on kraft, chalkboard or bright yellow first. For a full garden theme, add wings from our butterfly clipart and petals from the flower clipart, then print a flower page from our flower coloring pages.

Bee Theme Ideas by Grade
- Preschool: Count bees on flowers. Print the bee on flower sticker sheet and have kids match a number card to each group.
- Kindergarten and grade 1: Use the honeycomb for shape hunts. Kids trace a hexagon, count its six sides and find hexagons around the room.
- Grades 2 and 3: Teach pollination with the honey bee pictures. Mix in our bug and insect clipart to compare bees with ants and ladybugs.
- Grades 4 and 5: Host a class spelling bee and use the pencil bee on the invite, the score sheet and the winner's certificate.
Bumblebee or Honey Bee: Picking the Right Picture
| Bee | Looks like | Use it for |
|---|---|---|
| Bumblebee | Round, fuzzy, wide stripes | Little kids, signs, stickers |
| Honey bee | Slim, golden, clear wings | Science, pollination, honey lessons |
| Silhouette bee | Solid black shape | Vinyl, stencils, low ink prints |
Yellow and black is the classic bee pairing, but try honey gold with sky blue, or the black outline on mint paper for a fresh spring look.
Printing Bees at the Right Size
Every bee saves at 1000 pixels square. That gives a crisp print up to about 3 inches wide on a home printer, which is just right for stickers, jar labels and name tags. Go larger only on screens or slides.
If you see a white box after pasting a bee into a word processor, change the wrap setting so it sits in front of text. Our page on how to make a PNG transparent explains clear backgrounds in more detail.
Questions people ask
Is this bee clipart free to use?
Sure. Our bees may buzz around your home, class or school, and for projects you are not selling. You can credit us, though you do not have to. Please keep the bee files out of paid packs and resale shops, and drop us a line on the Contact page if a bee is going on a product or a printable you sell.
Where can I find honey bee clipart black and white?
The final group of pictures has them. The honeybee outline and the hive with honeycomb are both made for coloring, and the silhouette bee is ready for cutting. All three print well in black ink.
What is the difference between bumblebee clipart and honey bee clipart?
Our bumblebees are round and fuzzy with wide stripes, which reads as cute for young kids. The honey bee pictures are slimmer and golden, closer to the real insect, so they suit science lessons.
Do you have realistic bee clipart for a science project?
Yes. The realistic honey bee is drawn from above with six legs, clear wings and a banded body. It is clear enough to label body parts on a worksheet or slide.
Is there honeycomb clipart with a transparent background?
Yes. The honeycomb with dripping honey saves as a clear PNG, so it sits on any color. It also works well as a corner piece on a math page about hexagons.
Do you have spelling bee clipart?
Yes. The doodle bee holding a big pencil is made for spelling lists, contest flyers and certificates. It has no words on it, so you can add your own title.
