Queen Begonia Coloring Page
How cute is this colored-in page?
The daughter of one of our local bee club members wasn’t feeling well so I sent her the two coloring pages included in the back of my book “Bee Club Basics or How to Start a Bee Club.” The book includes 28 pages in the back that can be copied and used to establish a bee club including the coloring pages for young club visitors.
The beekeeping book illustrations are by a very talented local artist Jake Tupper, here is his final version of the same book cover.
Here’s the original Bee Club Basics book cover. (Photo by Charlotte Ekker Wiggins)
I’ve been asked how realistic is this illustration. Actually, very. Honey bees love coffee, will chew paper inside their hives to easily remove it - they are fastidious house keepers and the clover flowers are good for honeybees.
The flowers on Bee Club Basics book cover is Red Crimson Clover Trifolium incarnatum, the one red clover honeybees can access because of the shape of the flowers. Not to be confused with “Red Clover,” which is pink and has a round flower head bumblebees can access but not honey bees.
So here’s the same coloring page for your beekeeping fans feeling cooped up.
Enjoy coloring this page and don’t forget to share the final work of art! (Photo by Charlotte Ekker Wiggins)
Once completed, please share, would love to see your works of art!
