In Manchester there is a public display of over a 100 Bee In The City - see https://beeinthecitymcr.co.uk/
Noticing how easy it was to recreate these out of primitives in OpenSCAD I built my own
After the success of the first one, I now have many, and thus far have given a few away.
Right now I still only have a 2014-era single colour setup, these would benefit from a two filament printer as these would be great to highlight some detail with colour
Currently working on splitting the base from the bee but getting the unsupported legs to remain stable during printing is proving a challenge…

very worthy.
I would suggest making the wings and perhaps the antennae as separate parts and inserting them after.
This way you could print them flat to the bed at high speed and add more detail to make them look finer. You could also use a different filament colour or perhaps even a flexible filament.
You could make clip on stripes, eyes and stingers!

1. I’ve tweaked the antennae so they’re a bit fatter now - they print pretty well at 100% speed
2. The mandible/mouth rows are printed at a manually lowered 50% speed
3. I’ve split the model in two so the mount can be a different colour than the beeSteve N | Creator of things both virtual and physical
