What Colors Are Bees?

There are various bee species, the most common being the honeybee and the bumblebee. Both of these species share the characteristic yellow and black colorings. Bees are unique in that they are the only insects to produce food eaten by humans -- honey.
  1. Head

    • Honeybees and bumblebees have black heads, eyes and antenna. Their heads are often also speckled with yellow.

    Body

    • Most species possess the characteristic black and yellow stripes on their body. These colors signify a warning to predators, suggesting that preying on the bee could be hazardous.

    Legs

    • Bees' legs are black, often with a hint of any other coloration that appears on the body -- yellow or amber, for example.

    Wings

    • Bees' wings are clear with dark membranes, perhaps black or dark brown.
