Whether you are going for a bee costume to resemble a character in Bee Movie or if you're interested in a Transformers bumble bee costume, this page offers tips and links that can help you make your bee costume a sure fire hit this Halloween. You can often find bee costumes at retailers such as Target.

Making your own Halloween bee costume isn't hard. First, check your closet: do you have a black or yellow-colored shirt? Skirt? Dress? If so, grab it. Bumble bees are black with yellow stripes, so an old black shirt could be instantly transformed into a fabulous bee costume by painting the stripes on with yellow paint. The same could be done to a black leotard; pair it with black tights and you've got the base for your bee costume. Wings can be made using poster board or opaque fabric, and attached to the costume base with safety pins. An antennae headpiece can then be fashioned using a plastic headband, some black pipe cleaners and styrofoam balls painted black.
