Marzipan Bumblebees

Though it can be a bit more difficult to work with very small pieces of marzipan, as is done here, do not be tempted to plump up the bumblebees; they can easily begin to take the shape of a small hummingbird, and while the two may share the same interest in flowers, the larger creatures look quite out of place on a beehive. Following these instructions produces life-size bees, admittedly rather simplified.
