  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • Small tube chocolate decorator icing (optional)

  3. Place onto a wax paper lined baking sheet and press down slightly.
  4. If available, cut a small hole into the tube of icing and pipe two or three stripes, a stinger on the end and two dots for eyes on each bee. Insert two or four almond slices into each bee for wings.
  5. Place in the refrigerator to allow bees to firm, if desired.
