Here are a few ideas.

For Bee wings:

1. Buy black fairy wings from a costume store or spray paint some fairy wings black. (ehow) White might also be okay in this case.
   
2. Use black filmy material and secure by sewing into your costume or wrapping wire around your shoulders. (costumzee.com)
3. Curve a piece of wire into a wing shape (oval) then cover the wire with black nylons (women's stockings). Secure around your shoulders with additional wire or elastic. See the video here: http://www.expertvillage.com/video/162317_make-halloween-bee-costume.htm
   

For antenna:

1. Twist together two pairs of black pipe cleaners. Glue the pipe cleaners to a black headband (or wind around). If you like you can paint two Styrofoam balls black and then glue them to the ends of the pipe cleaners. (www.rd.com) and (ehow).
2. Buy black "boppers" from a costume store. (ehow)
3. Stick thin nylon wire through a black hoodie/beanie/hat. (Thrift Fun)
