Adorable Bee Costumes for All Ages
There is just something fun about dressing up as a bee. Maybe you are planning a Halloween costume for a party or a school event – beekeepers even use bee costumes as an outreach effort. In this guide of bee inspired outfits, you will find everything from silly toddler costumes to charming adult versions. Which one suits you the best?
As a beekeeper, I’ve been known to wear a pair of antennae on occasion. It is a great conversation starter and a way to raise awareness and appreciation for our essential pollinators. Honey bee or bumble bee or something else entirely – all bees are important.
What to Consider When Choosing a Bee Costume
Ok, they are all cute. But before picking out your perfect honey bee costume, think beyond style. Will you be wearing it for a long time? If so – will the costume be comfortable.
For kids, is it easy to get on and off? You want fabric that is breathable and suitable to the weather conditions.
